Mean-Mean Multiple Comparison Displays for Families of Linear Contrasts.

Traditional tabular and graphical displays of results of simultaneous confidence intervals or hypothesis tests are deficient in several respects. Expanding on earlier work, we present new mean-mean multiple comparison graphs that succinctly and compactly display the results of traditional procedures for multiple comparisons of population means or linear contrasts involving means. The MMC plot can be used with unbalanced, multifactor designs with covariates. After reviewing the construction of these displays in the S language (S-Plus and R), we demonstrate their application to four multiple comparison scenarios. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
