Combining the advantages of one-sided and two-sided test procedures for comparing several treatments with a control.

Combining the advantages of one-sided and two-sided test procedures for comparing several treatments with a control.
Consider the standard problem of investigating whether any of k treatments are better than a control. A two-sided procedure provides both upper and lower bounds on the differences between each treatment and the control, whereas a one-sided procedure only provides lower bounds on these differences. However, the one-sided procedure allows sharper inferences regarding which treatments can be declared to be better than the control. In this paper we develop a new procedure which combines the good aspects of both the one-sided and the two-sided procedures. This new procedure maintains the inferential sensitivity of the one-sided procedure while also providing both upper and lower bounds on the differences between each treatment and the control. A new set of critical points is needed which are tabulated for the balanced case where the treatment sample sizes are all equal. More generally, the new procedure is applicable to any set of correlated or uncorrelated parameter estimates.

Abstract

Consider the standard problem of investigating whether any of k treatments are better than a control. A two-sided procedure provides both upper and lower bounds on the differences between each treatment and the control, whereas a one-sided procedure only provides lower bounds on these differences. However, the one-sided procedure allows sharper inferences regarding which treatments can be declared to be better than the control. In this paper we develop a new procedure which combines the good aspects of both the one-sided and the two-sided procedures. This new procedure maintains the inferential sensitivity of the one-sided procedure while also providing both upper and lower bounds on the differences between each treatment and the control. A new set of critical points is needed which are tabulated for the balanced case where the treatment sample sizes are all equal. More generally, the new procedure is applicable to any set of correlated or uncorrelated parameter estimates.
