Post hoc tests following analysis of variance
Abstract
Review of nursing research literature revealed that post hoc comparisons of mean differences were not consistently reported, although their use was warranted. This paper describes the critical features of post hoc procedures and offers guidelines for selecting one method over another. Particular attention is given to how various procedures control Type 1 error. Selection of post hoc procedures considering the investigator's desire for control of Type 1 and Type 2 error also is presented.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
