R: st: Two factor anova post test

["Carlo Lazzaro" <carlo.lazzaro@tin.it>]

Dear Ricardo,
why not performing a one-way ANOVA on the significant factor (race) and, if
appropriate, perform a multiple comparison with correction?
I agree with Angel that the risk of inflating Type 1 error is probably
negligible. Anyway, you can explore in depth this issue with different
critical values.

Kindest Regards,
Carlo

Thank you Angel. The term that is significant is race, with three levels,
therefore I am not completely sure which means are different, and I do not
understand how to use -test-, or even if that is the correct way  to compare
them.

Thank you,
Ricardo.
