Hi,
I was wondering if anybody can help me.
My data failed the levenes test (ANOVA) so I applied the Kruskal Wallis 
non-parametric test. There were significant differences, so now I want to know 
where those differences lie by doing the Mann Whitney U test. I have 24 groups 
to compare with 3 reps in each group. Therefore, I would ideally like to apply 
a bonferroni correction to my Mann whitney test to avoid a type 1 error.

I have written my syntax like this:

NPAR TESTS
/MANN-WHITNEY = TotalCu BY byPlot (1, 5)
/POSTHOC={BONFERRONI, ALPHA ([0.0020833])}

but I get an error message like this:

.17-23: error: Syntax error at 'POSTHOC': expecting end of command.
/POSTHOC


Does anybody know what it is that I am doing wrong?

Can you apply a Bonferroni correction to Mann whitney in PSPP? If yes, how? If 
not, is there an alternative option?

I have tried doing mann whitney for each and every pair of groups without the 
bonferroni correction and everything comes out significant. When I know that it 
shouldn't

Jen
