Table 3 Average power of two-tailed tests for two significance levels (unadjusted and corrected for multiple testing). Results for the six test statistics and two significance levels are averaged over all classes of disparity magnitude. Significance levels are either unadjusted or reduced using the Bonferroni correction, the Holm's procedure or the False Discovery Rate (FDR) approach.
