A signal recovery problem is considered, where the same binary testing problem is posed over multiple, independent data streams. The goal is to identify all signals, i.e., streams where the alternative hypothesis is correct, and noises,…

For multiple testing based on p-values with c\`{a}dl\`{a}g distribution functions, we propose an FDR procedure "BH+" with proven conservativeness. BH+ is at least as powerful as the BH procedure when they are applied to super-uniform…
