Synopsis
Multiple Comparisons demonstrates the most important methods of investigating differences between levels of an independent variable within an experimental design. The authors review the analysis of variance and hypothesis testing and describe the dimensions on which multiple comparisons vary. A feature is the use made of a famous experiment by Solomon Asch on group conformity. The authors demonstrate the statistical power of each method against this one experimental question.
Synopsis
Describes the most important methods used to investigate differences between levels of an independent variable within an experimental design. Readers will learn not only how to conduct multiple comparisons in experimental designs but also how to better understand and evaluate published research. "A highly readable introduction to multiple comparison methods, which demands little from its reader in the way of background other than some familiarity with analysis of variance." --The Statistician
