چکیده
Multiple contrast tests can be used to test arbitrary linear hypotheses by providing local and global test decisions as well as simultaneous confidence intervals. The ANOVA-F-test on the contrary can be used to test the global null hypothesis of no treatment effect. Thus, multiple contrast tests provide more information than the analysis of variance (ANOVA) by offering which levels cause the significance. We compare the exact powers of the ANOVA-F-test and multiple contrast tests to reject the global null hypothesis. Hereby, we compute their least favorable configurations (LFCs). It turns out that both procedures have the same LFCs under certain conditions. Exact power investigations show that their powers are equal to detect their LFCs.

متن کاملMultiple contrast tests in the presence of heteroscedasticity.
This paper proposes a general approach for handling multiple contrast tests for normally distributed data in the presence of heteroscedasticity. Three candidate procedures are described and compared by simulations. Only the procedure with both comparison-specific degrees of freedom and a correlation matrix depending on sample variances maintains the alpha-level over all situations. Other approa...
متن کاملStatistical analysis of monotone or non-monotone dose-response data from in vitro toxicological assays.
Various tests on trend in toxicological studies are reviewed, and the advantages and the disadvantages involved with such procedures are discussed. New tests are introduced to overcome difficulties common to many current procedures, such as downturns at higher doses, and missing numerical availability.
متن کاملOrder-restricted scores test for the evaluation of population-based case-control studies when the genetic model is unknown.
The Cochran-Armitage (CA) linear trend test for proportions is often used for genotype-based analysis of candidate gene association. Depending on the underlying genetic mode of inheritance, the use of model-specific scores maximises the power. Commonly, the underlying genetic model, i.e. additive, dominant or recessive mode of inheritance, is a priori unknown. Association studies are commonly a...
متن کاملTrend tests for the evaluation of exposure-response relationships in epidemiological exposure studies
One possibility for the statistical evaluation of trends in epidemiological exposure studies is the use of a trend test for data organized in a 2 x k contingency table. Commonly, the exposure data are naturally grouped or continuous exposure data are appropriately categorized. The trend test should be sensitive to any shape of the exposure-response relationship. Commonly, a global trend test on...
