Recently, a multiple comparisons procedure was derived with the goal of determining whether it is reasonable to make a decision about which of J independent groups has the largest robust measure of location. This was done by testing hypotheses aimed at comparing the group with the largest estimate to the remaining J − 1 groups. It was demonstrated that for the goal of controlling the familywise error rate, meaning the probability of one or more Type I errors, well‐known improvements on the Bonferroni method can perform poorly. A technique for dealing with this issue was suggested and found to perform well in simulations. However, when dealing with dependent groups, the method is unsatisfactory. This note suggests an alternative method that is designed for dependent groups.

关于 J 个依赖群体中哪个具有最大稳健的位置度量的推断

最近，一个多重比较程序被推导出来，其目的是确定对J 个独立组中哪个具有最大稳健的位置度量做出决定是否合理。这是通过测试旨在将具有最大估计值的组与其余J  -1 组进行比较的假设来完成的。结果表明，为了控制家庭错误率，即一个或多个 I 类错误的概率，Bonferroni 方法的众所周知的改进可能表现不佳。提出了一种处理这个问题的技术，并发现它在模拟中表现良好。但是，在处理依赖组时，该方法并不能令人满意。本说明建议了一种专为依赖群体设计的替代方法。
