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:
“The greatest horrors in the history of mankind are not due to the ambition of the Napoleons or the vengeance of the Agamemnons, but to the doctrinaire philosophers. The theories of the sentimentalist Rousseau inspired the integrity of the passionless Robespierre. The cold-blooded calculations of Karl Marx led to the judicial and business-like operations of the Cheka.”
—Aleister Crowley (1875–1947)
“It is remarkable how closely the history of the apple tree is connected with that of man.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“There is no history of how bad became better.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
