Online testing procedures aim to control the extent of false discoveries over a sequence of hypothesis tests, allowing for the possibility that early-stage test results influence the choice of hypotheses to be tested in later stages.…

Motivation: Target-decoy search (TDS) is currently the most popular strategy for estimating and controlling the false discovery rate (FDR) of peptide identifications in mass spectrometry-based shotgun proteomics. While this strategy is very…

The False Discovery Rate (FDR) is a commonly used type I error rate in multiple testing problems. It is defined as the expected False Discovery Proportion (FDP), that is, the expected fraction of false positives among rejected hypotheses.…

When hypotheses are tested in a stream and real-time decision-making is needed, online sequential hypothesis testing procedures are needed. Furthermore, these hypotheses are commonly partitioned into groups by their nature. For example, the…

This paper revisits the following open question in simultaneous testing of multivariate normal means against two-sided alternatives: Can the method of Benjamini and Hochberg (BH, 1995) control the false discovery rate (FDR) without imposing…

Cumulative sum (CUSUM) charts are typically used to detect changes in a stream of observations e.g. shifts in the mean. Usually, after signalling, the chart is restarted by setting it to some value below the signalling threshold. We propose…

The local false discovery rate (lfdr) of Efron et al. (2001) enjoys major conceptual and decision-theoretic advantages over the false discovery rate (FDR) as an error criterion in multiple testing, but is only well-defined in Bayesian…

We investigate the performance of a family of multiple comparison procedures for strong control of the False Discovery Rate ($\mathsf{FDR}$). The $\mathsf{FDR}$ is the expected False Discovery Proportion ($\mathsf{FDP}$), that is, the…

In the online multiple testing problem, p-values corresponding to different null hypotheses are observed one by one, and the decision of whether or not to reject the current hypothesis must be made immediately, after which the next p-value…

Barber and Cand\`es (2015) control of the FDR in feature selection relies on estimating the FDR by the number of knockoff wins +1 divided by the number of original wins. We study the necessity of the +1 in general settings.
