Title: Multiple Comparisons with a control in families with both one-sided and two-sided hypotheses

Abstract: Dunnett (1955) procedure is extended to cases where in a particular family of inferences comparing $k$ treatments with a control, both one-sided and two-sided inferences are present. Selected critical values are also tabulated for the implementation of our proposed procedure. A discussion of the numerical method to compute critical values are provided. Finally, an illustrative example with sample data extracted from a medical experiment is examined.
