Many approaches for multiple testing begin with the assumption that all tests in a given study should be combined into a global false-discovery-rate analysis. But this may be inappropriate for many of today's large-scale screening problems,…

We consider multiple testing with false discovery rate (FDR) control when p-values have discrete and heterogeneous null distributions. We propose a new estimator of the proportion of true null hypotheses and demonstrate that it is less…

The false discovery rate (FDR) and false nondiscovery rate (FNDR) have received considerable attention in the literature on multiple testing. These performance measures are also appropriate for classification, and in this work we develop…

Out of the participants in a randomized experiment with anticipated heterogeneous treatment effects, is it possible to identify which subjects have a positive treatment effect? While subgroup analysis has received attention, claims about…

This work concerns controlling the false discovery rate (FDR) in networks under communication constraints. We present sample-and-forward, a flexible and communication-efficient version of the Benjamini-Hochberg (BH) procedure for multihop…

Despite the popularity of the false discovery rate (FDR) as an error control metric for large-scale multiple testing, its close Bayesian counterpart the local false discovery rate (lfdr), defined as the posterior probability that a…

Controlling false discovery rate (FDR) while leveraging the side information of multiple hypothesis testing is an emerging research topic in modern data science. Existing methods rely on the test-level covariates while ignoring possible…

Multiple hypothesis testing is a central topic in statistics, but despite abundant work on the false discovery rate (FDR) and the corresponding Type-II error concept known as the false non-discovery rate (FNR), a fine-grained understanding…

Modern data analysis frequently involves large-scale hypothesis testing, which naturally gives rise to the problem of maintaining control of a suitable type I error rate, such as the false discovery rate (FDR). In many biomedical and…

Efron et al. (2001) proposed empirical Bayes formulation of the frequentist Benjamini and Hochbergs False Discovery Rate method (Benjamini and Hochberg,1995). This article attempts to unify the `two cultures' using concepts of comparison…

Several classical methods exist for controlling the false discovery exceedance (FDX) for large scale multiple testing problems, among them the Lehmann-Romano procedure ([LR] below) and the Guo-Romano procedure ([GR] below). While these two…

Complex large-scale studies, such as those related to microarray data and fMRI studies, often involve testing multiple hierarchically ordered hypotheses. However, most existing false discovery rate (FDR) controlling procedures do not…

The large bulk of work in multiple testing has focused on specifying procedures that control the false discovery rate (FDR), with relatively less attention being paid to the corresponding Type II error known as the false non-discovery rate…

We consider statistical hypothesis testing simultaneously over a fairly general, possibly uncountably infinite, set of null hypotheses, under the assumption that a suitable single test (and corresponding $p$-value) is known for each…

False discovery rates (FDR) are typically estimated from a mixture of a null and an alternative distribution. Here, we study a complementary approach proposed by Rice and Spiegelhalter (2008) that uses as primary quantities the null model…

The traditional approaches to false discovery rate (FDR) control in multiple hypothesis testing are usually based on the null distribution of a test statistic. However, all types of null distributions, including the theoretical,…

Multiple hypothesis testing is a fundamental problem in high dimensional inference, with wide applications in many scientific fields. In genome-wide association studies, tens of thousands of tests are performed simultaneously to find if any…

There has been recent interest in extending the ideas of False Discovery Rates (FDR) to variable selection in regression settings. Traditionally the FDR in these settings has been defined in terms of the coefficients of the full regression…

This work studies distributed multiple testing with false discovery rate (FDR) control in the presence of Byzantine attacks, where an adversary captures a fraction of the nodes and corrupts their reported p-values. We focus on two baseline…
