Description

Implements Dunnett's test (Dunnett, 1955) for many-to-one comparisons.

Usage

dunnett.test(Z = Z, select = rep(1, length(Z)))

Arguments

Z

A vector of test statistics

select

A vector of length Z; to include treatments set values to one and to exclude treatments set values to zero

Value

pvalues

A list of matrices of p-values for all intersection hypotheses

zscores

A list of matrices of z-scores for all intersection hypotheses

hyp.comb

A list of matrices indicating the structure of the intersection hypotheses

Details

A many-to-one comparison test for the the null hypothesis that all the treatment effects are equal to zero against the alternative that at least one is larger than zero.
