Games-Howell Post-Hoc Test

The Games-Howell test is a parametric post-hoc multiple comparison procedure that identifies which pairs of group means differ significantly after an omnibus ANOVA reveals a significant overall effect. Proposed by Games and Howell in 1976, it is specifically designed for situations where group variances and/or sample sizes are unequal, making it the recommended alternative to Tukey HSD whenever Levene's test signals heteroscedasticity.
