Abstract Closure of the family of hypotheses tested by the Newman-Keuls procedure has been proposed in order to avoid excessive Type I errors. This proposal is examined in some detail, and a practical procedure for carrying it out is described and programmed in FORTRAN. The relation of such closure to other multiple comparison procedures is discussed, and its relatively high power is pointed out.
Begun et al. (Mon,) studied this question.
