Does SPSS do Bonferroni correction?
SPSS offers Bonferroni-adjusted significance tests for pairwise comparisons. This adjustment is available as an option for post hoc tests and for the estimated marginal means feature. Statistical textbooks often present Bonferroni adjustment (or correction) in the following terms.
When should I use a Bonferroni correction?
The Bonferroni correction is appropriate when a single false positive in a set of tests would be a problem. It is mainly useful when there are a fairly small number of multiple comparisons and you’re looking for one or two that might be significant.
What does the Bonferroni correction do?
Purpose: The Bonferroni correction adjusts probability (p) values because of the increased risk of a type I error when making multiple statistical tests. A variety of methods of correcting p values were employed, the Bonferroni method being the single most popular.
What does a Bonferroni adjustment do?
How does Bonferroni correction work?
Bonferroni designed his method of correcting for the increased error rates in hypothesis testing that had multiple comparisons. Bonferroni’s adjustment is calculated by taking the number of tests and dividing it into the alpha value.
Is Bonferroni a post hoc test?
The Bonferroni is probably the most commonly used post hoc test, because it is highly flexible, very simple to compute, and can be used with any type of statistical test (e.g., correlations)—not just post hoc tests with ANOVA.
What is a Bonferroni correction and why is it important?
The Bonferroni correction is used to reduce the chances of obtaining false-positive results (type I errors) when multiple pair wise tests are performed on a single set of data. Put simply, the probability of identifying at least one significant result due to chance increases as more hypotheses are tested.
Is the Bonferroni correction conservative?
The Bonferroni correction (1) for multiple testing is sometimes criticized as being overly conservative. The correction is indeed conservative, and there are uniformly more powerful approaches that preserve type I error of the global null hypothesis (2) (see Appendix).
