RT Journal T1 AN ALTERNATIVE APPROACH FOR MULTIPLE COMPARISON PROBLEMS WHEN THERE ARE A LARGE NUMBER OF GROUPS: ANOM TECHNIQUE A1 M. Mende_and S. Yiit JF Journal of Animal and Plant Sciences JO JAPS SN 1018-7081 VO 28 IS 4 SP 1074 OP 1079 YR 2018 FD 2018/08/01 DO DOI NA AB Analysis of Means (ANOM) is a powerful tool for comparing means, variances, proportions and other location and scale measures. This procedure can also be used efficiently as a multiple comparison test especially when there are a large number of groups. A simulation study has been carried out to investigate the performance of ANOM as a multiple comparison approach. Total accuracy value was found at least 60.00% regardless of experimental conditions. ANOM and Tukey procedures have also been compared on a real data set where there are 80 different wheat varieties. It is concluded that the ANOM has a great advantage over Tukey test in terms of determining superior and worse varieties especially when there are more than 10 treatment groups. Garcia et al. (2009) used LSD procedure after ANOVA-F K1 ANOM, multiple comparisons, sensitivity, total accuracy.
