Conover-Iman Test/Evidence
Method evidence record

Conover-Iman Test

The Conover-Iman test is a rank-based post-hoc procedure, introduced by Conover and Iman in 1979, that identifies which pairs of groups differ after a significant Kruskal-Wallis or Friedman test. It builds a t-style statistic on the pooled ranks and is generally more powerful than the comparable Dunn test.
