Multiple comparison for Kruskal-Wallis test in version 19

[AlessandroMacario]

Hi,

I've carried out a Kruskal-Wallis test on k=3 samples (n=4 per sample) and performed multiple comparisons. I'd like to know which test is chosen by SPSS for the pairwise comparisons (Tukey, Newman-Keuls....?). Could you also give me some details for the provided table (for pairwise comparisons).
Cheers,
Alessandro

Hi,

The algorithm for pairwise comparisons for the Kruskal-Wallis test can be found at: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/spssstat/v20r0m0/topic/com.ibm.spss.statistics.help/alg_nonparametric_multiple-comparisons_pairwise.htm
