For many-to-one comparisons (pairwise comparisons with one control) in a two factorial unreplicated complete block design with non-normally distributed residuals, Demsar's test can be performed on Friedman-type ranked data.
Let there be k groups including the control, then the number of treatment levels is m = k - 1. A total of m pairwise comparisons can be performed between the i-th treatment level and the control. H_i: θ_0 = θ_i is tested in the two-tailed case against A_i: θ_0 \ne θ_i, ~~ (1 ≤ i ≤ m).
The p-values are computed from the standard normal distribution.
Any of the p-adjustment methods as included in p.adjust
can be used for the adjustment of p-values.
