Dear R People:

In the DASL library, there is a story about hot dogs.

Here are the data:

Here is my work:
> dog1.df <- read.table(file="dog1.dat",as.is=F,header=F,
+ col.names=c("type","cal","sodium"))
> dog1.aov <- aov(cal~type,data=dog1.df)
> summary(dog1.aov)
            Df  Sum Sq Mean Sq F value    Pr(>F)

Signif. codes:  0 '***' 0.001 '**' 0.01 '*' 0.05 '.' 0.1 ' ' 1
> TukeyHSD(dog1.aov)
  Tukey multiple comparisons of means

Fit: aov(formula = cal ~ type, data = dog1.df)

$type
                   diff       lwr       upr     p adj
Meat-Beef      1.855882 -16.82550  20.53726 0.9688129
Poultry-Beef -38.085294 -56.76667 -19.40391 0.0000277
Poultry-Meat -39.941176 -59.36515 -20.51720 0.0000239

> plot(dog1.aov)

When I look at the QQ plot, it's quite "snaky".
I thought that doing a transformation (based on boxcox) would help
with the snakiness.

However, when I re-run with the transformation, it's still snaky.

Any suggestions, please?

Thanks,
Sincerely,
Erin
