What is the proper way to apply the multiple comparison test? (2018, background): “This is true for the following situations, as well: to avoid type I error or perform many tests without a preplanned hypothesis for the purpose of obtaining significant results [8].”
‘Show me the goods’: Assessing the effectiveness of transparent packaging vs. product imagery on product evaluation (2018, methodology): “This procedure was 318 chosen to adequately control both Type-I and Type-II errors arising from the 319 relatively large number of comparisons made, and in which situation Bonferroni 320 corrections would be unduly punitive (see Armstrong, 2014; Ludbrook, 1998).”
A Crowd-based Evaluation of Abuse Response Strategies in Conversational Agents (2019, methodology): “2 We do not use Bonferroni to correct for multiple comparisons, since according to Armstrong (2014), it should not be applied in an exploratory study since it increases the chance to miss possible effects (Type II errors).”
Improving fraction understanding in sixth graders with mathematics difficulties: Effects of a number line approach combined with cognitive learning strategies. (2019, background): “Because the current study was proposed to include planned multiple comparisons within the mixed ANCOVAs noted above, corrections are not necessary (Armstrong, 2014; Perneger, 1998).”
TransMorph: Transformer for unsupervised medical image registration (2021, positive): “The 𝑝 -values from the paired 𝑡 -tests with Bonferroni correction (Armstrong, 2014)”
A Nearby Repeating Fast Radio Burst in the Direction of M81 (2021, methodology): “To account for this, we use the Bonferroni correction procedure (Bender & Lange 2001; Armstrong 2014).”
Prompt engineering in consistency and reliability with the evidence-based guideline for LLMs (2024, positive): “Bonferroni correction was used for multiple comparisons 41 .”
The Relationship Between Family Acceptance-Rejection and Transgender Youth Psychosocial Functioning (2019, positive): “Bonferroni cutoffs were used in all analyses to account for multiple hypothesis testing (Armstrong, 2014).”
Do p Values Lose Their Meaning in Exploratory Analyses? It Depends How You Define the Familywise Error Rate (2017, neutral): “However, many researchers have questioned the usefulness of universal null hypotheses (Armstrong, 2014; Bender & Lange, 2001; Hurlbert & Lombardi, 2012; O’Keefe, 2003; Matsunaga, 2007; Morgan, 2007; Parascandola, 2010; Perneger, 1998; Rothman, 1990; Schulz & Grimes, 2005).”
When to adjust alpha during multiple testing: a consideration of disjunction, conjunction, and individual testing (2021, background): “…have provided a more moderate and nuanced perspective in which an alpha adjustment is warranted in some cases of multiple testing but not in others (Armstrong, 2014; Bender & Lange, 2001; Greenland, 2020; Hewes, 2003; Matsunaga, 2007; Proschan & Waclawiw, 2000; Schulz & Grimes, 2005; Streiner,…”
After-effects of parieto-occipital gamma transcranial alternating current stimulation on behavioral performance and neural activity in visuo-spatial attention task (2026, unknown): “For significant electrode clusters, post hoc t-tests with a Bonferroni correction (Armstrong (2014)) were carried out to investigate pairwise differences between pre-/post-tACS and sham/active groups.”
