In this paper, we obtain quantitative, non-asymptotic, and data-dependent \textit{Bernstein-von Mises type} bounds on the normal approximation of the posterior distribution in exponential family models with arbitrary centring and scaling.…

Improved procedures, in terms of smaller missed discovery rates (MDR), for performing multiple hypotheses testing with weak and strong control of the family-wise error rate (FWER) or the false discovery rate (FDR) are developed and studied.…

Background: Experimental treatments pass through various stages of development. If a treatment passes through early phase experiments, the investigators may want to assess it in a late phase randomised controlled trial. An efficient way to…

The Bonferroni multiple testing procedure is commonly perceived as being overly conservative in large-scale simultaneous testing situations such as those that arise in microarray data analysis. The objective of the present study is to show…

In this paper we consider online multiple testing with familywise error rate (FWER) control, where the probability of committing at least one type I error shall remain under control while testing a possibly infinite sequence of hypotheses…

We investigate the performance of a family of multiple comparison procedures for strong control of the False Discovery Rate ($\mathsf{FDR}$). The $\mathsf{FDR}$ is the expected False Discovery Proportion ($\mathsf{FDP}$), that is, the…

In a one-way analysis-of-variance (ANOVA) model, the number of all pairwise comparisons can be large even when there are only a moderate number of groups. Motivated by this, we consider a regime with a growing number of groups, and prove…

In genetic association studies, detecting phenotype-genotype association is a primary goal. We assume that the relationship between the data -phenotype, genetic markers and environmental covariates - can be modelled by a generalized linear…

Platform trials evaluate multiple experimental treatments under a single master protocol, where new treatment arms are added to the trial over time. Given the multiple treatment comparisons, there is the potential for inflation of the…

Multiple hypothesis testing problems arise naturally in science. In this paper, we introduce the new Fast Closed Testing (FACT) method for multiple testing, controlling the family-wise error rate. This error rate is state of the art in many…

Lower bounds for the average probability of error of estimating a hidden variable X given an observation of a correlated random variable Y, and Fano's inequality in particular, play a central role in information theory. In this paper, we…

The Fourier-Entropy Influence (FEI) Conjecture states that for any Boolean function $f:\{+1,-1\}^n \to \{+1,-1\}$, the Fourier entropy of $f$ is at most its influence up to a universal constant factor. While the FEI conjecture has been…
