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…

Several classical methods exist for controlling the false discovery exceedance (FDX) for large scale multiple testing problems, among them the Lehmann-Romano procedure ([LR] below) and the Guo-Romano procedure ([GR] below). While these two…

In the context of multiple hypotheses testing, the proportion $\pi_0$ of true null hypotheses in the pool of hypotheses to test often plays a crucial role, although it is generally unknown a priori. A testing procedure using an implicit or…

In a multiple testing framework, we propose a method that identifies the interval with the highest estimated false discovery rate of P-values and rejects the corresponding null hypotheses. Unlike the Benjamini-Hochberg method, which does…

This paper designs methods for decentralized multiple hypothesis testing on graphs that are equipped with provable guarantees on the false discovery rate (FDR). We consider the setting where distinct agents reside on the nodes of an…

In many multiple testing applications in genetics, the signs of test statistics provide useful directional information, such as whether genes are potentially up- or down-regulated between two experimental conditions. However, most existing…

We study a large-scale one-sided multiple testing problem in which test statistics follow normal distributions with unit variance, and the goal is to identify signals with positive mean effects. A conventional approach is to compute…

In many applications, the process of identifying a specific feature of interest often involves testing multiple hypotheses for their joint statistical significance. Examples include mediation analysis which simultaneously examines the…

Significant achievements in the reduction of classical-noise floor will allow macroscopic systems to prepare nearly Heisenberg-Limited quantum states through a continuous measurement, i.e. conditioning. In order to probe the conditional…

This paper introduces a unified framework for the detection of a source with a sensor array in the context where the noise variance and the channel between the source and the sensors are unknown at the receiver. The Generalized Maximum…

In the sparse sequence model, we consider a popular Bayesian multiple testing procedure and investigate for the first time its behaviour from the frequentist point of view. Given a spike-and-slab prior on the high-dimensional sparse unknown…

False discovery rate (FDR) has been a key metric for error control in multiple hypothesis testing, and many methods have developed for FDR control across a diverse cross-section of settings and applications. We develop a closure principle…

We consider the problem of testing for the presence (or detection) of an unknown sparse signal in additive white noise. Given a fixed measurement budget, much smaller than the dimension of the signal, we consider the general problem of…

False discovery rate (FDR) control is a popular approach for maintaining the integrity of statistical analyses, especially in high-dimensional data settings, where multiple comparisons increase the risk of false positives. FDR control has…
