Robust multiple comparisons

The use of several robust estimators of location with their associated variance estimates in a modified T-method for pairwise multiple comparisons between treatment means was compared with the sample mean and variance and with the k-sample rank sum test. The methods were compared with respect to the stability of their experimentwise error rates under a variety of non-normal situations (robustness of validity) and their average confidence interval lengths (robustness of efficiency).
