Comparing several treatments with a control

Consider the partially balanced one-way layout for comparing k   treatments _μi,${\mu }_i,$1?i?k,$1?i?k,$ with a control _μ0${\mu }_0$. We propose a new test which is similar to the test statistics of Marcus 1976. The powers of some tests of the equality of normal means against an ordered alternative. Biometrika 63, 177–183]. By simulation we find that the proposed test has a good power performance when compared with other tests. Moreover, it can produce confidence intervals for _μi-_μ0,1?i?k.${\mu }_i-{\mu }_0,1?i?k.$
