Popis: The present article discusses and compares multiple testing pro- cedures (MTPs) for controlling the family wise error rate. Machekano and Hubbard (2006) have proposed empirical Bayes approach that is a resam- pling based multiple testing procedure asymptotically controlling the fam- ilywise error rate. In this paper we provide some additional work on their procedure, and we develop resampling based step-down procedure asymptot- ically controlling the familywise error rate for testing the families of one-sided hypotheses. We apply these procedures for making successive comparisons between the treatment effects under a simple-order assumption. For exam- ple, the treatment means may be a sequences of increasing dose levels of a drug. Using simulations, we demonstrate that the proposed step-down pro- cedure is less conservative than the Machekano and Hubbard's procedure. The application of the procedure is illustrated with an example.
