Abstract

The problem of comparing k normal populations with a control (or a standard) in terms of the absolute values of their means is considered. Under the framework of indifference-zone formulation a single-state and a two-stage procedures for selecting the best are proposed, according to their commom vairances known or unknown respectively. The procedures guarantee that the probability of correct selection is not less than some preassigned lower limit. Selected tables necessary to implement the procedures are provided.
