Comparison of Means: An F Test Followed by a Modified Multiple Range Procedure

Author

  • Juliet Popper Shaffer

Abstract

If used only when a preliminary F test yields significance, the usual multiple range procedures can be modified to increase the probability of detecting differences without changing the control of Type I error. The modification consists of a reduction in the critical value when comparing the largest and smallest means. Equivalence of modified and unmodified procedures in error control is demonstrated. The modified procedure is also compared with the alternative of using the unmodified range test without a preliminary F test, and it is shown that each has advantages over the other under some circumstances.
