Abstract:
|
In this paper, we utilize a new graphical procedure to show how multiple treatment effects can be compared while controlling the familywise error rate (the probability of finding one or more spurious differences between the parameters of interest). Monte Carlo simulations suggest that this procedure adequately controls the familywise error rate in finite samples, and has average power nearly identical to a max-$T$ procedure. We illustrate our proposed approach using four different empirical examples chosen to demonstrate the flexibility of the procedure.
