Visualizing TukeyHSD Results Using ggsignif and ggplot2 for Statistical Significance
Step 1: Prepare the output of TukeyHSD for use in ggsignif First, we need to prepare the output of TukeyHSD from R’s aov function. This involves converting it into a format that can be used by the ggsignif package. Step 2: Load necessary libraries and dataframes Load the required libraries (tidyverse and ggplot2) and convert TukeyHSD output to a dataframe named ‘T1’. Step 3: Calculate the maximum rate for each level of the factor ‘Level’ Calculate the maximum rate for each level of the factor ‘Level’ in the dataframe ‘df’.
