Much effort has been made to improve the famous step up test of Benjamini and Hochberg given by linear critical values $\frac{i\alpha}{n}$. It is pointed out by Gavrilov, Benjamini and Sarkar that step down multiple tests based on the…

We present a new method for simulating Markovian jump processes with time-dependent transitions rates, which avoids the transformation of random numbers by inverting time integrals over the rates. It relies on constructing a sequence of…

In many practical applications of multiple hypothesis testing using the False Discovery Rate (FDR), the given hypotheses can be naturally partitioned into groups, and one may not only want to control the number of false discoveries (wrongly…
