Comparisons of
Means Procedures
7/1/2019 Design and Analysis of Agricultural Experiments - Dr. Awadallah Belal Dafaallah 2
Introduction:
Comparisons of means procedures are also
noun as means separation or multiple comparisons.
They are not statistical designs.
They are methods or means of comparing different statistical means or averages within the designs.
In any design in AVOVA table, F-cal for treatments can be either significant or not significant.
If F-cal for treatments is not significant (there are no real differences between the treatment means), therefore, there is no need to compare the treatment means.
If F-cal for treatments is significant (there are real differences between the treatment means), therefore, there is a need to compare the treatment means.

Then, F-test just shows without the details of
whether there are real differences between the treatment means or not.
To get the real differences between the
treatment means we use means separation methods which could be classified into two types of tests.
Comparisons of means procedures Tests planed before
carrying out the experiment
Orthogonal contrasts
Orthogonal polynomial contrast
Tests planed after carrying out the experiment

Duncan's multiple range test (DMRT)
DMRT is one of the most common methods used in comparing treatment means.
This test is summarized the way in finding
several significant differences with increasing values which, depending on the extent of the distance between the treatment means after arranged or organized.
The use of DMRT :
It is used whether F-cal for treatment is significant or not.
It is used to make all possible comparisons between treatment means.
It is used to compare the mean of control treatment with the rest of the treatment means.

An example:
With reference to the example No (1), where
the aim is to study the effect BAP on micro- propagation of Papaya (Carica papaya L.).
After experiment carried out insuring that F-cal for treatments is significant, the researcher decided to use DMRT.

Least significant range
Standard error
Studentized significant range
Steps for DMRT:
Least significant range is calculated from the following equation:
Where:
1) Calculate standard error of mean.

3) Calculate lest significant range as follow:
4) Organize or arrange treatment means ascending or descending.
5) Table of mean differences.
6) Compare differences with lest significant range values.
