DominanceRule

Dominance transition rule (§A.12.4): transition once one niche statistically dominates all of the others — its center's mean is better than every other niche center's mean by more than a Student-t margin. The per-comparison level uses the Bonferroni-style split β = (1−α)^{1/(q−1)} across the q − 1 competing niches, and the margin is t · SE with SE the independent-sampling standard error of the difference of the two centers' objective estimates. With fewer than two niches the rule does not fire (the single-niche rule covers that case).
