Abstract

This article presents the library nCDunnett of the software R currently available to
any user for computing the distribution of the non-central Dunnett’s test. The library allows the
computation of the density and distribution functions of the non-central Dunnett’s test statistics
and this paper shows comments, specifies the arguments for each routine and gives a real example
to illustrate the library usage.
