History
The interest in problem of multiple comparisons began in the 1950s with the work of Tukey and Scheffé. The interest increased for about two decades and then came a decline. Some even thought that the field was dead. However, the field was actually alive and more and more ideas were presented as the answer to the needs of medical statistics. The new methods and procedures came out: Closed testing procedure (Marcus et al., 1976), Holm–Bonferroni method (1979). Later, in the 1980s the issue of multiple comparisons came back. Books were published Hochberg and Tamhane (1987),Westfall and Young (1993),and Hsu (1996). At 1995 the work on False discovery rate and other new ideas had begun. In 1996 the first conference on multiple comparisons took place in Israel. This meeting of researchers was followed by such conferences around the world: Berlin (2000), Bethesda (2002), Shanghai (2005), Vienna ( 2007), and Tokyo ( 2009). All these reflect an acceleration of increase of interest in multiple comparisons.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“It’s not the sentiments of men which make history but their actions.”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
“The view of Jerusalem is the history of the world; it is more, it is the history of earth and of heaven.”
—Benjamin Disraeli (1804–1881)
“I believe that in the history of art and of thought there has always been at every living moment of culture a “will to renewal.” This is not the prerogative of the last decade only. All history is nothing but a succession of “crises”Mof rupture, repudiation and resistance.... When there is no “crisis,” there is stagnation, petrification and death. All thought, all art is aggressive.”
—Eugène Ionesco (b. 1912)
