Pairwise Comparisons for Kruskal-Wallis Test

  • 1.  Pairwise Comparisons for Kruskal-Wallis Test

    Posted Mon November 20, 2023 09:52 AM

    Hi everyone:

    I know this issue has been discussed here previously, but I'm just want to ensure that I have understood those posts correctly.

    I have performed a Kruskal-Wallis test in SPSS (Analyze, Nonparametric tests, Independent samples, then in Settings I select Customize tests, Kruskal-Wallis 1-way ANOVA (k samples)).

    Am I right in thinking that, in the pairwise comparison tables the "Sig." column shows values values for Dunn's test and the "Adj. Sig" column shows values for the Dunn's test with a Bonferroni adjustment? (I know there is a Bonferroni adjustment because the Output says so, but I just want to be sure that it's a Bonferroni adjustment to Dunn's test).

    Many thanks!
