In modern multiple hypothesis testing, the availability of covariate information alongside the primary test statistics has motivated the development of more powerful and adaptive inference methods. However, most existing approaches rely on…
Testing for differences in features between clusters in various applications often leads to inflated false positives when practitioners use the same dataset to identify clusters and then test features, an issue commonly known as ``double…
False discovery rate (FDR) is commonly used for correction for multiple testing in neuroimaging studies. However, when using two-tailed tests, making directional inferences about the results can lead to a vastly inflated error rate, even…
Causal discovery is crucial for causal inference in observational studies, as it can enable the identification of valid adjustment sets (VAS) for unbiased effect estimation. However, global causal discovery is notoriously hard in the…
Testing independence among a number of (ultra) high-dimensional random samples is a fundamental and challenging problem. By arranging $n$ identically distributed $p$-dimensional random vectors into a $p \times n$ data matrix, we investigate…
Motivation: In microarray analysis, special consideration must be given to the issues of multiple statistical tests and typically p-values are adjusted to control family-wise error rate (FWER) or false discovery rate (FDR). FDR metrics have…
Obtaining high-quality labels for large datasets is expensive, requiring massive annotations from human experts. While AI models offer a cost-effective alternative by predicting labels, their label quality is compromised by the unavoidable…
Since Benjamini and Hochberg introduced false discovery rate (FDR) in their seminal paper, this has become a very popular approach to the multiple comparisons problem. An increasingly popular topic within functional data analysis is local…
Multiple testing problems are a staple of modern statistical analysis. The fundamental objective of multiple testing procedures is to reject as many false null hypotheses as possible (that is, maximize some notion of power), subject to…
High-dimensional feature selection is routinely required to balance statistical power with strict control of multiple-error metrics such as the k-Family-Wise Error Rate (k-FWER) and the False Discovery Proportion (FDP), yet some existing…
To find interesting items in genome-wide association studies or next generation sequencing data, a crucial point is to design powerful false discovery rate (FDR) controlling procedures that suitably combine discrete tests (typically…
Motivated by the gene co-expression pattern analysis, we propose a novel sample quantile-based contingency (squac) statistic to infer quantile associations conditioning on covariates. It features enhanced flexibility in handling variables…
A resurgence of interest in multiple hypothesis testing has occurred in the last decade. Motivated by studies in genomics, microarrays, DNA sequencing, drug screening, clinical trials, bioassays, education and psychology, statisticians have…
Given a multiple testing situation, the null hypotheses that appear to have sufficiently low probabilities of truth may be rejected using a simple, nonparametric method of decision theory. This applies not only to posterior levels of…
The local false discovery rate (lfdr) of Efron et al. (2001) enjoys major conceptual and decision-theoretic advantages over the false discovery rate (FDR) as an error criterion in multiple testing, but is only well-defined in Bayesian…
The horseshoe prior, a widely used handy alternative to the spike-and-slab prior, has proven to be an exceptional default global-local shrinkage prior in Bayesian inference and machine learning. However, designing tests with frequentist…
We provide an approach to exploratory data analysis in matched observational studies with a single intervention and multiple endpoints. In such settings, the researcher would like to explore evidence for actual treatment effects among these…
In many applications of multiple hypothesis testing where more than one false rejection can be tolerated, procedures controlling error rates measuring at least $k$ false rejections, instead of at least one, for some fixed $k\ge 1$ can…
We present a novel necessary and sufficient principle for False Discovery Rate (FDR) control. This e-Partitioning Principle says that a procedure controls FDR if and only if it is a special case of a general e-Partitioning procedure. By…
The effective utilization of structural information in data while ensuring statistical validity poses a significant challenge in false discovery rate (FDR) analyses. Conformal inference provides rigorous theory for grounding complex machine…
