Abstract
Consider the problem of testing the homogeneity of k + 1 normal means under the tree order restriction. In this paper, we propose new multiple comparisons procedures for testing of the tree order constraint. New test procedures with the corresponding simultaneous confidence intervals are motivated by some new estimation methods which are constructed based on a random decision and the Bayesian approach. Also, these procedures are developed for two-sided tree order alternatives. We compare the performance of the proposed methods with some existing test procedures, such as likelihood ratio test and some multiple comparisons tests for the tree order constraint. In some cases, the gains in power due to the proposed procedures can be substantial. The results for two sided alternative are similar to the one-sided hypotheses and two new procedures perform well for almost every configuration. We illustrate the efficiency of the proposed methods by analyzing of the two bioassay numerical examples.
