\usage{regwq(formula, data, alpha, MSE=NULL, df=NULL, silent=FALSE)}
\description{REGWQ - Ryan / Einot and Gabriel / Welsch  test procedure
This function computes REGWQ test for given
data including p samples. It is based on a stepwise or 
layer approach to significance testing. Sample means are 
ordered from the smallest to the largest.  
The largest 
difference, which involves means that are r = p steps apart, 
is tested first at \eqn{\alpha} level of significance; if significant, 
means that are \eqn{r <p} steps apart are tested at a different \eqn{\alpha} level 
of significance and so on. Compare to the Student-
Newman-Keuls test, the \eqn{\alpha} levels are adjusted for the p-1 different
layers by the formula \eqn{\alpha_p=\alpha}, if p=k or p=k-1,
\eqn{\alpha_p = 1-(1-\alpha)^{p/k}}  otherwise. It might happen that the
quantiles are not descending in p. In this case, they are adapted by
\eqn{c_k = max_{2\leq r \leq k} c_r, k=2,\ldots,p}.
The REGWQ procedure, like Tukey's procedure, requires 
equal sample n's. However, in this algorithm, the procedure is 
adapted to unequal sample sized which can lead to still 
conservative test decisions.}
