Table 2.
LSD | Highest error rate and power of any method. In general, it controls the FWER in the weak sense; when there are 3 treatment groups, the FWER is controlled in the strong sense. |
BF | Controls the FWER in the strong sense, but it is too conservative (reduces the number of true positives). |
TK | Lowest error rate and power, control the FWER in the strong-sense |
SNK | Error-rate and power intermediate between TK and DMRT. Controls the FWER in the weak sense. |
DC | Error-rate and power intermediate between SNK and LSD. Controls the FWER in the weak sense. |
The table was taken from Christensen ( 2011) with some modifications.
BF = Bonferroni; DC: Duncan method; LSD = Least significant difference; SNK = Student-Newman-Keuls; TK = Tukey Kramer (or Tukey HSD in balanced designs).
