public interface MultipleHypothesisComparison<TreatmentData>
extends CloneableSerializable

Describes the functionality of an algorithm for accepting or rejecting multiple null hypothesis at the same time. These are typically run as a post-hoc test after an ANOVA or Friedman's test. The multiple comparison tests indicate which treatments are significantly different from each other once an ANOVA or Friedman's test has indicated that there are significant differences.

evaluateNullHypotheses

MultipleHypothesisComparison.Statistic evaluateNullHypotheses(Collection<? extends TreatmentData> data)

Evaluates the null hypotheses associated with the given collection of data.

Parameters:

data - Data from each treatment to consider

Returns:

Statistic that summarizes the multiple comparison test

evaluateNullHypotheses

MultipleHypothesisComparison.Statistic evaluateNullHypotheses(Collection<? extends TreatmentData> data,
                                                              double uncompensatedAlpha)

Evaluates the null hypotheses associated with the given collection of data.

Parameters:

data - Data from each treatment to consider

uncompensatedAlpha - Uncompensated alpha (p-value threshold) for the multiple comparison test, must be [0,1]

Returns:

Statistic that summarizes the multiple comparison test
