Input

Enter probability p, number of groups k, and degrees of freedom to find the critical value q of the studentized range distribution (the Tukey HSD percent point).

How it works

  • The studentized range Q is the difference between the largest and smallest of k independent normal samples, divided by an independently estimated standard deviation. It supplies the critical value for the Tukey HSD test.
  • The critical value q satisfies P(Q at most q) equals p. This tool integrates the cumulative distribution with Gauss-Legendre quadrature and inverts it by bisection.
  • The cumulative distribution averages the infinite-degrees-of-freedom range distribution P(W at most q times s) over a scale s that follows the chi distribution with the given degrees of freedom.
  • Enter the number of groups k as an integer of at least 2, degrees of freedom of at least 1, and a probability p strictly between 0 and 1.
  • For very large degrees of freedom the distribution converges to the infinite case, and the computation switches to that approximation.
