In many scientific settings there is a need for adaptive experimental design to guide the process of identifying regions of the search space that contain as many true positives as possible subject to a low rate of false discoveries (i.e.…

This paper presents a survey on some recent advances for the type I error rate control in multiple testing methodology. We consider the problem of controlling the $k$-family-wise error rate (kFWER, probability to make $k$ false discoveries…

In many large scale multiple testing applications, the hypotheses often have a known graphical structure, such as gene ontology in gene expression data. Exploiting this graphical structure in multiple testing procedures can improve power as…

The present paper establishes new multiple procedures for simultaneous testing of a large number of hypotheses under dependence. Special attention is devoted to experiments with rare false hypotheses. This sparsity assumption is typically…

In this paper we propose a computationally efficient multiple hypothesis testing procedure for persistent homology. The computational efficiency of our procedure is based on the observation that one can empirically simulate a null…

Motivation: Combining the results of different experiments to exhibit complex patterns or to improve statistical power is a typical aim of data integration. The starting point of the statistical analysis often comes as sets of p-values…

We address the multiple testing problem under the assumption that the true/false hypotheses are driven by a Hidden Markov Model (HMM), which is recognized as a fundamental setting to model multiple testing under dependence since the seminal…

We introduce a framework for calibrating machine learning models so that their predictions satisfy explicit, finite-sample statistical guarantees. Our calibration algorithms work with any underlying model and (unknown) data-generating…

We propose a new empirical Bayes method for covariate-assisted multiple testing with false discovery rate (FDR) control, where we model the local false discovery rate for each hypothesis as a function of both its covariates and p-value. Our…

We propose a unified framework to enhance the power of online multiple hypothesis testing procedures based on $e$-values. While $e$-value-based methods offer robust online False Discovery Rate (FDR) control under minimal assumptions, they…

False discovery rate (FDR) has been a key metric for error control in multiple hypothesis testing, and many methods have developed for FDR control across a diverse cross-section of settings and applications. We develop a closure principle…

In multiple testing several criteria to control for type I errors exist. The false discovery rate, which evaluates the expected proportion of false discoveries among the rejected null hypotheses, has become the standard approach in this…

Testing to see whether a given data set comes from some specified distribution is among the oldest types of problems in Statistics. Many such tests have been developed and their performance studied. The general result has been that while a…

We study online multiple testing with feedback, where decisions are made sequentially and the true state of the hypothesis is revealed after the decision has been made, either instantly or with a delay. We propose GAIF, a feedback-enhanced…

Can we learn a binary classifier from only positive data, without any negative data or unlabeled data? We show that if one can equip positive data with confidence (positive-confidence), one can successfully learn a binary classifier, which…
