Dunnett's multiple comparison test

Dunnett's multiple comparison test is a statistical method used to compare the means of several groups against a control group. Instead of looking at every possible pair of groups, which can lead to false conclusions, this test specifically assesses how each group differs from the control. It's useful when you want to determine if any treatments or conditions are significantly better or worse than the standard, while keeping the analysis straightforward and reducing the chances of errors that can arise from making too many comparisons.
