Which multiple comparison test provide better protection against misses or type II errors? Describe about it.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Here's the explanation is as follows;

The multiple comparisons,  occurs when one considers a set of statistical inferences simultaneously or infers a subset of parameters selected based on the observed values. In certain fields it is known as the look-elsewhere effect.

The simplest and most widely used method of multiple comparison testing  provide better protection against misses or type II errors is the Bonferroni correction.

Take note that , Bonferroni Correction is also known as Bonferroni type adjustment and it is made for inflated Type I error that is the higher the chance for a false positive; rejecting the null hypothesis when you should not.

When you're conducting multiple analyses on the same dependent variable, the chance of committing a Type I error increases, thus increasing the likelihood of coming about a significant result by pure chance. To correct for this, or protect from Type I error, a Bonferroni correction is conducted.

Note that , It is a conservative test that, although protects from Type I Error, is vulnerable to Type II errors i.e failing to reject the null hypothesis when you should in fact reject the null hypothesis.
