Letter indicators at averages determine the so-called homogeneous groups (statistically homogeneous). The occurrence of the same letter for averages (at least one) means that there is no (no) statistically significant difference between them. The sizes of HSD perform an auxiliary role, allowing quantification of the differences between means in a quantitative way.
