In many fields of science, we observe a response variable together with a large number of potential explanatory variables, and would like to be able to discover which variables are truly associated with the response. At the same time, we…

We introduce an Integrative Ranking and Thresholding (IRT) framework for fusing evidence from multiple testing procedures. The key innovation is a method that transforms binary testing decisions into compound $e-$values, enabling the…

In many practical applications of multiple hypothesis testing using the False Discovery Rate (FDR), the given hypotheses can be naturally partitioned into groups, and one may not only want to control the number of false discoveries (wrongly…
