title: Step-up related simultaneous confidence intervals for MCC and MCB.
abstract: The derivation of compatible confidence bounds related to stepwise decision procedures is a serious issue. Especially the derivation of step-up related bounds is rather complex. In this article we consider (one-sided) multiple comparisons with a control (MCC) and multiple comparisons with the best (MCB) with the aim of establishing delta-equivalence to the best and derive step-up related confidence bounds by applying the projection method proposed in Finner and Strassburger (2006). Some examples illustrate the resulting procedures.
