A Cluster-Based Approach To Means Separation
Maria G. Bautista, David W. Smith, and Robert L. Steiner
A new procedure for grouping treatments following the
determination of differences among treatments is proposed. The
procedure differs from most others in that distinct groups are
created. A simulation shows that the new procedure compares quite
favorably with other widely-used means-separation procedures.
Key Words
Means separation; Multiple range test; Post hoc test.
