Abstract
An overview of the current state of multiple comparisons is given, with special application to the social sciences. The problems caused by multiple comparisons are detailed, and Bayesian and frequentist solutions are discussed. Special emphasis is given on definition of the 'family' of statistical inferences, as well as on pre-registration of studies.
