Abstract
Multiple comparisons (MCs) provide the tools to answer the specific questions in an experiment. This commentary looks at where we develop our knowledge and preferences for particular MC methods. Three texts are discussed that cover in detail some aspects of MCs. These are by Hochberg and Tamhane (1987), Hsu (1996), and Westfall and Young (1993). The texts are used to examine the changes in MCs over the past 30 years and look for future directions for the field. A number of suggestions are provided relating both to the texts and the field in general.
