In 2015, Barber and Candes introduced a new variable selection procedure called the knockoff filter to control the false discovery rate (FDR) and prove that this method achieves exact FDR control. Inspired by the work of Barber and Candes…
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…
To detect differences between the mean curves of two samples in longitudinal study or functional data analysis, we usually need to partition the temporal or spatial domain into several pre-determined sub-areas. In this paper we apply the…
Accurately detecting Alzheimer's disease (AD) and predicting mini-mental state examination (MMSE) score are important tasks in elderly health by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Most of the previous methods on these two tasks are based on…
We present a novel method for controlling the $k$-familywise error rate ($k$-FWER) in the linear regression setting using the knockoffs framework first introduced by Barber and Cand\`es. Our procedure, which we also refer to as knockoffs,…
Multiple types or views of data (e.g. genetics, proteomics) measured on the same set of individuals are now popularly generated in many biomedical studies. A particular interest might be the detection of sample subgroups (e.g. subtypes of…
