Familywise error
Message posted by Eriko on August 1, 2000 at 12:00 AM (ET)

Am trying to find a definition of "familywise error". Have an inkling that it means that I run the risk of increasing Type I and II error. (I am running a number of multiple egressions on the same set of data.)

Is applying Bonferroni a solution?

Many thanks.
