\title{ Contrast Matrices }
\description{
  Computes contrast matrices for several multiple comparison procedures.
}
\usage{
contrMat(n, type=c("Dunnett", "Tukey", "Sequen", "AVE", 
                   "Changepoint", "Williams", "Marcus", 
                   "McDermott"), base = 1)
}
\arguments{
  \item{n}{ a (possibly named) vector of sample sizes for each group or a
            vector of factor levels. }
  \item{type}{ type of contrast. }
  \item{base}{ an integer specifying which group is considered the baseline
          group for Dunnett contrasts.}
}
\details{
  Computes the requested matrix of contrasts for comparisons of mean levels.
}
\value{
  The matrix of contrasts with appropriate row names is returned.
