Dunnett's test

Dunnett's test is a statistical method used to compare the means of multiple groups against a control group. Imagine you have several different treatments and want to see how each compares to a standard option. Dunnett's test helps identify which of these treatments are significantly better or worse than the control, while avoiding excessive false positives. It adjusts for the fact that multiple comparisons can lead to misleading results. This makes it a useful tool in research to ensure reliable conclusions about the effects of different treatments or conditions.
