Abstract:
Multiple comparison procedures allow
detecting differences among treatment means. These procedures include
pairwise, multiple comparisons, planned orthogonal and non-orthogonal
contrasts and orthogonal polynomials. In many situations the use of
multiple comparison procedure has been either appreciated or not the
most meaningful method of analysing the data. The objectives of many
animal experiments are to detect meaningful relationships among treatments
and associated responses and also to identify relationships among biological
responses. In this study, Least Significant Differences test, Student
-Newman-Keuls test, Tukey test, Duncan test, Scheffe test, Hartley
test, Dunnet t-test, Bonferroni test, Waller-Duncan test, William t-test,
confidence interval, orthogonal polynomials and orthogonal contrasts
are discussed.
