In this work we study an adaptive step-down procedure for testing $m$ hypotheses. It stems from the repeated use of the false discovery rate controlling the linear step-up procedure (sometimes called BH), and makes use of the critical…

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…

This is a chapter of the forthcoming Handbook of Multiple Testing. We consider a variety of model selection strategies in a high-dimensional setting, where the number of potential predictors p is large compared to the number of available…

In complex clinical trials, multiple research objectives are often grouped into sets of objectives based on their inherent hierarchical relationships. Consequently, the hypotheses formulated to address these objectives are grouped into…

Although there is a huge literature on feature selection for the Cox model, none of the existing approaches can control the false discovery rate (FDR) unless the sample size tends to infinity. In addition, there is no formal power analysis…

Researchers in biomedical studies often work with samples that are not selected uniformly at random from the population of interest, a major example being a case-control study. While these designs are motivated by specific scientific…

In multiple hypothesis testing, it is well known that adaptive procedures can enhance power via incorporating information about the number of true nulls present. Under independence, we establish that two adaptive false discovery rate (FDR)…
