Methods are outlined for performing simultaneous multiple comparisons between groups when the dependent variable is one in which subjects are assigned to one of two or more categories. These methods provide tests which are analogous to Scheffe- and Bonferroni-adjusted tests of contrasts in the analysis of variance. Examples are provided of each of these procedures.
