Multiple Comparison Procedures Comfort Ratings of 13 Fabric Types A.V. Cardello, C. Winterhalter, and H.G. Schultz (2003). "Predicting the Handle and Comfort of Military Clothing Fabrics from Sensory and Instrumental Data: Development and Application of New Psychophysical Methods," Textile Research Journal, Vol. 73, pp. 221-237.
Treatments Means and standard deviations of 45 comfort ratings for 13 military fabrics. Fabric types: 10R - 50/50 Nylon/combed cotton, ripstop poplin weave 11A - 50/50 Nylon/Polyester, oxford weave (Australian) 12T - 50/50 Nylon/cotton, twill weave 13P - 92/5/3 Nomex/Kevlar/P140, plain weave 14N - 100 Cotton (former flame retardant treated) 15B - 77/23 Cotton sheath/synthetic core, twill (UK) 16C - 100 combed cotton, ripstop poplin (former hot weather BDU) 17C - 65/35 Wool/Polyester, plain weave (Canada-unlaundered) 18L - 65/35 Wool/Polyester, plain weave (Canada-laundered) 19N - 92/5/3 Nomex/Kevlar/P140, oxford weave 20J - Carded cotton sheath/nylon core, plain weave (Canada) 124 - 100 Pima cotton ripstop poplin (experimental) 176 - 50/50 Nylon carded cotton ripstop poplin weave
Multiple Comparisons • Individual & Combined Null Hypotheses (H0 H01… H0k) • Comparisonwise Error Rate Pr(Reject H0i|H0i True) • Experimentwise Error Rate Pr(Reject any H0i|All H0i True) • False Discovery Rate E(# False Rejects/Total Rejections) • Strong Familywise Error Rate Pr(Any False Discoveries) • Simultaneous Confidence Intervals Pr(All Correct)=1-e • Multiple Comparison Procedures control Type 1 Error Rate other than per comparison
Bonferroni Based Methods • Construct P-values for all k test statistics • Order P-values from smallest p(1) ≤ … ≤ p(k) • Bonferroni: Reject H0(i) if p(i) ≤ e/k • Holm (Controls Strong FWER): Reject H0(i) if p(j) ≤ e/(k-j+1) j ≤ I • False Discovery Rate: Reject H0(i) if p(j) ≤ je/k for some j ≥ i (Assumes independent tests, not the case for this example) • Example: Comparing all k=13(12)/2=78 pairs of fabrics
Scheffe’s Method for All Contrasts • Can be used for any number of contrasts, even those suggested by data. Conservative (Wide CI’s, Low Power)
Tukey’s Method for All Pairwise Comparisons • Makes use of the Studentized Range Distribution • Pr{(max(Y1,…,Yn)-min(Y1,…,Yn))/S ≥ q(a,n,n)} = a • {Y1,…,Yn } S n degrees of freedom for S
Bonferroni’s Method for All Pairwise Comparisons • Adjusts type I error rate for each test to e/(# of tests) • Increases Confidence levels of CI’s to (1-(e/(# of CIs)))
SNK Method for All Pairwise Comparisons • Controls False Discovery Rate at e • Uses Different Critical Values for different ranges of means
Fisher’s Protected LSD for All Pairwise Comparisons • Controls Experimentwise Error Rate at e • Only Conducted if F-test is significant (P-value ≤ e)
Multiple Comparisons with Best Treatment/Control • Pr{subset of treatments contains the best} = 1- e
Multiple Comparisons with Best Treatment/Control Treatments 13P, 15B, and 11A all lie within 16.22 of the highest mean
