A Simple, Graphical Approach to Comparing Multiple Treatments

Brennan Thompson () and Matthew Webb

No 63, Working Papers from Toronto Metropolitan University, Department of Economics

Abstract: We propose a graphical approach to comparing multiple treatments that allows users to easily infer differences between any treatment effect and zero, and between any pair of treatment effects. Our approach makes use of a flexible, resampling-based procedure that asymptotically controls the familywise error rate (the probability of making one or more spurious inferences). We demonstrate the usefulness of our approach with three empirical examples.
