### Reject $H_0: \mu_1 = \mu_2 = \mu_3$ but not $H_0: \mu_1 = \mu_2, H_0: \mu_3 = \mu_2,$ or $H_0: \mu_1 = \mu_3$? [duplicate]

Is it possible to reject $$H_0\!: \mu_1 = \mu_2 = \mu_3,$$ for example, with an F test in the context of an ANOVA table, but not reject any of the following: \begin{align} H_0\!: \mu_1 &= \mu_2 ...

### Is it possible to get non-significant post hoc test in a significant ANOVA test while the unpair t-tests are significant? [duplicate]

I conducted One-Way ANOVA to compare means in 4 groups. The ANOVA was significant, but the post hoc tests were non-significant. Then, I applied unpair t-tests to compare each group to the lowest group....

### Do we need a global test before post hoc tests?

I often hear that post hoc tests after an ANOVA can only be used if the ANOVA itself was significant. However, post hoc tests adjust $p$-values to keep the global type I error rate at 5%, don't they?...

I performed with R an ANOVA and I got significant differences. However when checking which pairs were significantly different using the Tukey's procedure I did not get any of them. How can this be ...

### Significant ANOVA interaction but non-significant pairwise comparisons [duplicate]

I ran a two-way ANOVA and got a significant interaction. I ran a Tukey.HSD() post-hoc test in R and no pairwise comparisons were significant. Is this an error on my ...

### How much smaller can $p$ values from ANOVA's $F$-test be vs. those from multiple $t$-tests on the same data?

Intro: Having noted the attention received today by this question, "Can ANOVA be significant when none of the pairwise t-tests is?," I thought I might be able to reframe it in an interesting way that ...

### How can I interpret a significant one-way repeated measures ANOVA with non-significant pairwise, bonferroni adjusted, comparisons?

I have a dataset with one factor consisting of four levels. I've run a one-way repeated measures ANOVA on the data, which came out significant. However, for the follow-up pairwise, bonferroni adjusted,...

### Multiple tests plus correction versus ANOVA - is one always better?

A colleague was using three pair-wise t-tests plus Bonferroni correction to detect any differences in the means of three groups. My first response was to tell him to use an ANOVA instead, since my ...

### T- test for A, B, C, D

As you know, Student´s t-test is only valid for a pair of variable/experiment. for instance, we can do t-test(A, B). Now, I need to test whether variables A, B, C, D are close to each other or not. ...
