Multiple comparison
The problem of testing hypotheses with respect to the values of scalar products of a vector , the coordinates of which are unknown parameters, with a number of given vectors . In statistical research the multiple comparison problem often arises in dispersion analysis where, as a rule, the vectors are chosen so that , and the scalar product itself, in this case, is called a contrast. On the assumption that are unknown mathematical expectations of one-dimensional normal laws, J.W. Tukey and H. Scheffé proposed the -method and the -method, respectively, for the simultaneous estimation of contrasts, which are the fundamental methods in the problem of constructing confidence intervals for contrasts.
