Hi, let's say I have a simple ANOVA model with 2 factors A (level A1 and A2)
and
B (level B1 and B2) and their interaction:
aov(y~A*B, data=dat)
It turns out that the interaction term is not significant (e.g. P value = 0.2),
but if I used glht() to compare A1 vs. A2 within each level of B, I found that
the comparison is not significant when B=B1, but is very significant (P<0.01)
when B=B2.
My question is whether it's legal to do this post-hoc comparison when the
interaction is NOT significant? Can I still make the claim that there is a
significant difference between A1 and A2 when B=B2?
Thanks
John
