This paper is concerned with comparing several increasing dose levels (treatments) with a zero dose control when the prior information about the umbrella pattern treatment means is available. The problem of testing whether there is at least one treatment which is better than the control is considered. Multiple test procedures are then proposed for deciding treatments (if any) which are better than the control. Some approximate criticial values of the proposed tests are reported. The results of a Monte Carlo power study are presented.
