Understanding Multiple Comparisons in Statistical Testing Using Pairwise T-Tests
Introduction to Multiple Comparisons in Statistical Testing In statistical testing, it’s common to compare multiple groups or columns to determine if they are significantly different from each other. However, when dealing with a large number of comparisons, the issue of multiple comparisons arises. This can lead to a decrease in the power of the test and increase the risk of type I errors. One way to address this issue is by using statistical tests that account for multiple comparisons, such as the Bonferroni method or the Holm-Bonferroni method.
