A Multiple Three-Decision Procedures for Comparing Several Treatments with a Control Under Heteroscedasticity

In this article, the design-oriented two-stage multiple three-decision procedure is proposed to classify a set of normal populations with respect to a control under heteroscedasticity. The statistical tables of percentage points and the power-related design constants, to implement our new two-stage procedure, are given. Sometimes when the sample for the second stage is not available, the one-stage data analysis procedure is proposed. Classifying a treatment better than control when it is actually worse (and vice versa) is known as type III error. Both the two-stage and one-stage procedures control the type III error rate at a specified level. The relationship between the two-stage and one-stage procedures is discussed. Finally, the application of the proposed procedures is illustrated with an example.
