We investigate asymptotically optimal multiple testing procedures for streams of sequential data in the context of prior information on the number of false null hypotheses ("signals"). We show that the "gap" and "gap-intersection"…

In many multiple testing applications in genetics, the signs of test statistics provide useful directional information, such as whether genes are potentially up- or down-regulated between two experimental conditions. However, most existing…

We consider a multiple hypothesis testing problem in a sensor network over the joint spatio-temporal domain. The sensor network is modeled as a graph, with each vertex representing a sensor and a signal over time associated with each…

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…

How to weigh the Benjamini-Hochberg procedure? In the context of multiple hypothesis testing, we propose a new step-wise procedure that controls the false discovery rate (FDR) and we prove it to be more powerful than any weighted…
