Computing pairwise comparisons among correlations with the SAS system.

An SAS program that can accommodate both equal and unequal sample sizes for up to k = 10 samples was created to compute pairwise multiple comparisons among a set of k independent product-moment correlation coefficients.

Description
Summary:An SAS program that can accommodate both equal and unequal sample sizes for up to k = 10 samples was created to compute pairwise multiple comparisons among a set of k independent product-moment correlation coefficients. The theoretical basis of the statistical technique is attributable to Tukey, but the applicability of the method to correlation coefficients is made possible through a large-sample technique described by Levy. Details of the program, its applications, and its availability are provided.
