Synopsis

This book enhances the widely-used Newman-Keuls (N-K) multiple comparison procedure. The N-K method, while valuable, fails to protect against incorrect comparisons if the hypothesis of equal means is violated. This book's method improves upon this failing without being excessively conservative. The method is based on an experiment-wise error rate, meaning it helps determine if means are different when in fact, they are not. The book features tables to ease the use of the method. The author emphasizes the method is most appropriate for data exploration rather than decision-making, as it aims to guide thinking more than indicate a definite course of action. The method is positioned within statistical research and presented as a valuable tool for data analysis.
