I apologize for my not knowing how to use this stuff very well.

I have been making some edits on the statistics pages because I am finding them usually helpful for my teaching. However, there are sometimes glaring errors and I have to correct them, otherwise the students will be misinformed.

I made some comments about the multiple comparisons page as follows:

The previous version was the one that was confusing, also quite misinformed. "Acceptance criteria"? It was just plain backwards. Plus, the information about Bonferroni was misinformed, even wrong.

I also made some corrections to the significance testing entry that seemed to confuse p-value with level of significance.

You can Email me at peter dot westfall at ttu dot edu if you have any questions. I do think some of my terms in my edits can be hyperlinked to other Wikipedia sites, but I'll leave that to others as I am not that comfortable with it.
