What is the proper way to apply the multiple comparison test

TL;DR: This paper discusses how to test multiple hypotheses simultaneously while limiting type I error rate, which is caused by α inflation, and the differences between MCTs and apply them appropriately.

Borneo and Indochina are Major Evolutionary Hotspots for Southeast Asian Biodiversity

TL;DR: Meta-analyses of geological, climatic, and biological data sets are conducted to test which areas have been the sources of long-term biological diversity in SE Asia, particularly in the pre-Miocene, Miocene, and Plio-Pleistocene and whether the respective biota have been dominated by in situ diversification, immigration and/or emigration, or equilibrium dynamics.

TL;DR: This study aimed to provide the most recent national estimates for beverage consumption among children and adults in the United States.

Improving Inferences about Null Effects with Bayes Factors and Equivalence Tests

TL;DR: In four examples from the gerontology literature, different ways to specify alternative models that can be used to reject the presence of a meaningful or predicted effect in hypothesis tests are illustrated.

Instrumenting gait with an accelerometer: A system and algorithm examination

TL;DR: Investigation to explain poor variability/asymmetry agreement between accelerometers and instrumented walkway finds accelerometers have potential to gather continuous and robust spatio-temporal gait data, representative of normal living.

A Simple Sequentially Rejective Multiple Test Procedure

TL;DR: In this paper, a simple and widely accepted multiple test procedure of the sequentially rejective type is presented, i.e. hypotheses are rejected one at a time until no further rejections can be done.

What's wrong with Bonferroni adjustments

TL;DR: This paper advances the view, widely held by epidemiologists, that Bonferroni adjustments are, at best, unnecessary and, at worst, deleterious to sound statistical inference.

No adjustments are needed for multiple comparisons.

Kenneth J. Rothman
- 01 Jan 1990 - 
TL;DR: A policy of not making adjustments for multiple comparisons is preferable because it will lead to fewer errors of interpretation when the data under evaluation are not random numbers but actual observations on nature.
Journal ArticleDOI

Multiple Comparisons among Means

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors considered the possibility of picking in advance a number (say m) of linear contrasts among k means, and then estimating these m linear contrasts by confidence intervals based on a Student t statistic, in such a way that the overall confidence level for the m intervals is greater than or equal to a preassigned value.

On the use and interpretation of certain test criteria for purposes of statistical inference part i

Jerzy Neyman, +1 more
- 01 Dec 1928 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the importance of placing in a logical sequence the stages of reasoning adopted in the solution of certain statistical problems, which may be termed problems of inference, was emphasised.
