A Fortran 90 program for confirmatory analysis of variance

Abstract

There are different confirmatory techniques to compare means, like hypothesis testing and (Bayesian) model selection. However, there is no software package in which these techniques are available. A Fortran 90 program is written, which enables researchers to apply these techniques to their data. Besides traditional hypotheses, like H0: μ1 = μ2 = μ3 and Hu: μ1, μ2, μ3, order-restricted hypotheses, like μ1 > μ2 > μ3 or μ1 > μ2 = μ3 or μ1 > μ2 < μ3, can be evaluated.
