Abstract:
Various modified Bonferroni procedures (MBPs) have been proposed in order to improve the power of the classical Bonferroni procedure (CBP). In the present paper, powers of these MBPs are investigated by a Monte Carlo study for pairwise comparisons. It is shown that they can be remarkably more powerful than the CBP and Tukey's procedure with respect to all-pairs power, whereas all these procedures with respect to any-pair power are almost the same. Therefore, we recommend the use of MBPs rather than the CBP or Tukey's procedure. Shaffer's procedure sometimes shows higher power than other MBPs and would be the best choice for pairwise comparisons.

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 have a...
Testing 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...
