Abstract:
Consider a one-way layout with three treatments with unknown means, and, and a common unknown variance. The practical equivalence of the three treatments can be concluded if the range of the three means is small in comparison to their standard deviation σ. This implies that the range Δ of the three reciprocal coefficients of variation, is less than a specified amount. In this article, it is shown how to construct an upper confidence bound for Δ for possibly unbalanced data sets. Small values of this upper bound allow practical equivalence to be established in an efficient manner. Examples of the implementation of this procedure are provided, and comparisons are made with other approaches. R code to implement the procedure is available. © Grace Scientific Publishing, LLC.
