In mathematics, the comparison test, sometimes called the direct comparison test to distinguish it from similar related tests (especially the limit comparison test ), provides a way of deducing the convergence or divergence of an infinite series or an improper integral. In both cases, the test works by comparing the given series or integral to ...
Tukey's range test, also known as Tukey's test, Tukey method, Tukey's honest significance test, or Tukey's HSD ( honestly significant difference) test, [1] is a single-step multiple comparison procedure and statistical test. It can be used to correctly interpret the statistical significance of the difference between means that have been ...
In statistics, Duncan's new multiple range test ( MRT) is a multiple comparison procedure developed by David B. Duncan in 1955. Duncan's MRT belongs to the general class of multiple comparison procedures that use the studentized range statistic qr to compare sets of means. David B. Duncan developed this test as a modification of the Student ...
Newman–Keuls method. The Newman–Keuls or Student–Newman–Keuls (SNK) method is a stepwise multiple comparisons procedure used to identify sample means that are significantly different from each other. [1] It was named after Student (1927), [2] D. Newman, [3] and M. Keuls. [4]
Dunnett's test. In statistics, Dunnett's test is a multiple comparison procedure [1] developed by Canadian statistician Charles Dunnett [2] to compare each of a number of treatments with a single control. [3] [4] Multiple comparisons to a control are also referred to as many-to-one comparisons.
Comparison test can mean: Limit comparison test, a method of testing for the convergence of an infinite series. Direct comparison test, a way of deducing the convergence or divergence of an infinite series or an improper integral. Category: Disambiguation pages.
Multiple comparisons problem. An example of coincidence produced by data dredging (uncorrected multiple comparisons) showing a correlation between the number of letters in a spelling bee's winning word and the number of people in the United States killed by venomous spiders. Given a large enough pool of variables for the same time period, it is ...
Weierstrass M-test. In mathematics, the Weierstrass M-test is a test for determining whether an infinite series of functions converges uniformly and absolutely. It applies to series whose terms are bounded functions with real or complex values, and is analogous to the comparison test for determining the convergence of series of real or complex ...
