Controlling the False Discovery Rate (FDR) in a variable selection procedure is critical for reproducible discoveries, and it has been extensively studied in sparse linear models. However, it remains largely open in scenarios where the…
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…
