When many (m) null hypotheses are tested with a single dataset, the control of the number of false rejections is often the principal consideration. Two popular controlling rates are the probability of making at least one false discovery…

When comparing multiple groups in clinical trials, we are not only interested in whether there is a difference between any groups but rather the location. Such research questions lead to testing multiple individual hypotheses. To control…

An adaptive iterative decision multi-feedback detection algorithm with constellation constraints is proposed for multiuser multi-antenna systems. An enhanced detection and interference cancellation is performed by introducing multiple…
