Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (HMC) is a powerful and accurate method to sample from the posterior distribution in Bayesian inference. However, HMC techniques are computationally demanding for Bayesian neural networks due to the high…
Multivariate statistics are often available as well as necessary in hypothesis tests. We study how to use such statistics to control not only false discovery rate (FDR) but also positive FDR (pFDR) with good power. We show that FDR can be…
Closed testing procedures are classically used for familywise error rate (FWER) control, but they can also be used to obtain simultaneous confidence bounds for the false discovery proportion (FDP) in all subsets of the hypotheses. In this…
Differentially private multiple testing procedures can protect the information of individuals used in hypothesis tests while guaranteeing a small fraction of false discoveries. In this paper, we propose a differentially private adaptive FDR…
In genome-wide epigenetic studies, exposures (e.g., Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms) affect outcomes (e.g., gene expression) through intermediate variables such as DNA methylation. Mediation analysis offers a way to study these intermediate…
