Abstract:
AbstractStatistical testing of more than one hypothesis has the potential to increase the risk of wrongly concluding that the result for a given end point is statistically significant (false discovery). This review is designed to acquaint nonstatisticians with traditional approaches for controlling type I error and with the seemingly complex procedure known as graphical testing.

Multiple 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...
Crossover Experiments
Crossover designs are performed even with smaller sample sizes since the samples can act as their controls. These are better than simple randomized trials since patients are exposed to all the treatments.
