Davis-Pope convention

The Davis-Pope convention is a statistical rule used in hypothesis testing, particularly when comparing multiple groups. It helps determine whether to reject a null hypothesis by analyzing differences in data. Essentially, it provides a guideline for assessing if observed variations are significant or likely due to random chance. This convention aims to improve decision-making accuracy in experiments or studies involving multiple comparisons, reducing false positives. It is named after statisticians William J. Davis and Harold A. Pope, who contributed to establishing this method for more reliable results in statistical analysis.
