means comparison in R (post-hoc test)

Hi.

I have been using SAS for some time, and now I have discovered R. I am
very happy with it, but I have not found out how to perform some of the
multiple comparisons I was used to do in SAS.

With the SAS/STAT, I generally used the MEANS (for comparison of
arithmetic means) and the LSMEANS (for adjusted means) statements of the
GLM procedure (I think it is equivalent to lm in R). They provided a lot
of tests: LSD, Duncan, Tukey-Kramer, Bonferroni, Scheff??, SNK, etc.
However, in R I have only discovered Tukey-HSD.

I have searched for information about this, but I was not successful. I
wonder if anybody knows where I could learn about this. I would like to
use these tests in R, and also obtain the adjusted means like these
produced by the LSMEANS statement.

Thank you.

Felipe

Package multcomp with the workhorse-function simint comes close to what you

Thank you, I think multcomp is very near to what I was looking for.
However, I am still looking for a mean to obtain least-squares
(adjusted) means and std. errors of these means, and performing
comparisons among these means, as the LSMEANS do in SAS. I have read
other messages and have looked at car, effects and Design manuals, but I
am not sure if this is what I am looking for. Any clue?
