As datasets grow richer, an important challenge is to leverage the full features in the data to maximize the number of useful discoveries while controlling for false positives. We address this problem in the context of multiple hypotheses…

Although there is a huge literature on feature selection for the Cox model, none of the existing approaches can control the false discovery rate (FDR) unless the sample size tends to infinity. In addition, there is no formal power analysis…

Quantum devices need precise control to achieve their full capability. In this work, we address the problem of controlling closed quantum systems, tackling two main issues. First, in practice the control signals are usually subject to…

We propose sequential multiple testing procedures which control the false discover rate (FDR) or the positive false discovery rate (pFDR) under arbitrary dependence between the data streams. This is accomplished by "optimizing" an upper…

Multiple comparison procedures that control a family-wise error rate or false discovery rate provide an achieved error rate as the adjusted p-value for each hypothesis tested. However, since such p-values are not probabilities that the null…

Most link prediction methods return estimates of the connection probability of missing edges in a graph. Such output can be used to rank the missing edges from most to least likely to be a true edge, but does not directly provide a…

In this article, we propose a generalized weighted version of the well-known Benjamini-Hochberg (BH) procedure. The rigorous weighting scheme used by our method enables it to encode structural information from simultaneous multi-way…

When testing a number of statistical hypotheses using data from location families, it is often useful to control the false discovery rate (FDR) not just for hypotheses of the null values but also of other parameter values that are deemed…

A systematic multiple hypothesis testing approach is applied to the search for astrophysical sources of high energy neutrinos. The method is based on the maximisation of the detection power maintaining the control of the confidence level of…

In many applications of multiple hypothesis testing where more than one false rejection can be tolerated, procedures controlling error rates measuring at least $k$ false rejections, instead of at least one, for some fixed $k\ge 1$ can…

We propose one-at-a-time knockoffs (OATK), a new methodology for detecting important explanatory variables in linear regression models while controlling the false discovery rate (FDR). For each explanatory variable, OATK generates a…

Inequalities are key tools to prove FDR control of a multiple test. The present paper studies upper and lower bounds for the FDR under various dependence structures of p-values, namely independence, reverse martingale dependence and…

In hypothesis testing, a false discovery occurs when a hypothesis is incorrectly rejected due to noise in the sample. When adaptively testing multiple hypotheses, the probability of a false discovery increases as more tests are performed.…
