The Graphical Presentation of a Collection of Means

Harvey Goldstein and Michael J. R. Healy

Journal of the Royal Statistical Society Series A, 1995, vol. 158, issue 1, 175-177

Abstract: When a study produces estimates for many units or categories a common problem is that end‐users will wish to make their own comparisons among a subset of these units. This problem will occur, for example, when estimates of school performance are produced for all schools. The paper proposes a procedure, based on the graphical presentation of confidence intervals, which enables such comparisons to be carried out while maintaining an average required type I error rate.
