Abstract:
In this article we review recent advances in [Formula: see text]-value-based multiple test procedures (MTPs). We begin with a brief review of the basic tests of Bonferroni and Simes. Standard stepwise MTPs derived from them using the closure method of Marcus et al. (1976) are discussed next. They include the well-known MTPs of Holm (1979), Hochberg (1988) and Hommel (1988), and their extensions and improvements. This is followed by stepwise MTPs for a priori ordered hypotheses. Next we present gatekeeping MTPs (Dmitrienko and Tamhane, 2007) for hierarchically ordered families of hypotheses with logical relations among them. Finally, we give a brief review of the graphical approach (Bretz et al., 2009) to constructing and visualizing gatekeeping and other MTPs. Simple numerical examples are given to illustrate the various procedures.

01:09Decision Making: P-value Method
First, a specific claim about the population parameter is proposed. The claim is based on the research question and is stated in a simple form. Further, an opposing statement to the claim is also stated. These statements can act as null and alternative hypotheses: a null hypothesis would be a neutral statement while the alternative hypothesis can...

The means of different samples are first paired in all possible combinations.

01:10P-value
P-value stands for the probability value. P-value is the probability that, if the null hypothesis is true, the results from another randomly selected sample will be as extreme or more extreme as the results obtained from the given sample.
A large P-value calculated from the data indicates to not reject the null hypothesis. But a higher P-value does not mean that the null hypothesis is true. The smaller the P-value, the more...
01:13Multiple Comparison Tests
It would be easy to compare two samples using a significance alpha level of 0.05. In other words, there is only one sample pair to be compared. However, it would be difficult to identify a significantly different sample if the number...
01:24Testing a Claim about Population Proportion
There are two methods of testing a claim about a population proportion: (1) Using the sample proportion from the data where a binomial distribution is approximated to the normal distribution and (2) Using the binomial probabilities calculated from the data.
The first method uses normal distribution as an approximation to the binomial distribution. The requirements are as follows: sample size is large...
