Distribution of Dunnett’s \(t\), two-sided#

class ctx.dist_dunnett2_t(rho, k, nu)#

where ctx is fpm, mpm, ipm, dec, gmp or apm.

The 2-sided Dunnett \(t\)-distribution with common correlation \(\rho\), \(k \ge 2\) groups (including control group) and error degrees of freedom \(\nu\) is a continuous distribution with the support interval \((0, +\infty)\). See also Dunnett [304], Bechhofer and Dunnett [31].

Let \(X_1,\ldots,X_k\) be a random sample of size \(k\) from a \(\mathcal{N}(0,\sigma^2)\) distribution. Let \(s^2\) be an independent mean square estimate of \(\sigma\) with \(n\) degrees of freedom. Then

\[Q=\frac{\text{max}|X_1 - X_j|}{s}, \quad 1<j<k\]

has a twosided Dunnett’s \(|t|\)-distribution with \(k\) and \(n\) degrees of freedom.

For Dunnett’s test:

\[\lambda_i=\frac{1}{\sqrt{1+n_0/n_i}}\]
