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:
“We know only a single science, the science of history. One can look at history from two sides and divide it into the history of nature and the history of men. However, the two sides are not to be divided off; as long as men exist the history of nature and the history of men are mutually conditioned.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“To care for the quarrels of the past, to identify oneself passionately with a cause that became, politically speaking, a losing cause with the birth of the modern world, is to experience a kind of straining against reality, a rebellious nonconformity that, again, is rare in America, where children are instructed in the virtues of the system they live under, as though history had achieved a happy ending in American civics.”
—Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)
“I feel as tall as you.”
—Ellis Meredith, U.S. suffragist. As quoted in History of Woman Suffrage, vol. 4, ch. 14, by Susan B. Anthony and Ida Husted Harper (1902)
