Williams, Jones, and Tukey (1999) showed that a sequential approach to controlling the false discovery rate in multiple comparisons, due to Benjamini and Hochberg (1995), yields much greater power than the widely used Bonferroni technique that limits the jamilywise Type I error rate. The Benjamini-Hochberg (B-H) procedure has since been adopted for use in reporting results from the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), as well as in other research applications. This short note illustrates that the B-H procedure is extremely simple to implement using widely available spreadsheet software. Given its easy implementation, it is feasible to include the B-H procedure in introductory instruction in inferential statistics, augmenting or replacing the Bonferroni technique.
