Abstract
In this study we consider a multiple comparison of several treatments with a control based on multivariate normal response in clinical trials. Specifically we construct a step down procedure by referring to Dunnett and Tamhane (1991). Furthermore we formulate the all‐pairs power by using the recursive formula derived by Hayter and Tamhane (1991) and Dunnett, Horn and Vollandt (2001). Finally we compare the step down procedure with the single step procedure proposed by Nakamura and Imada (2005) in terms of some numerical examples regarding the power of the test.
