We develop a new class of distribution--free multiple testing rules for false discovery rate (FDR) control under general dependence. A key element in our proposal is a symmetrized data aggregation (SDA) approach to incorporating the…

Regression evaluation has been performed for decades. Some metrics have been identified to be robust against shifting and scaling of the data but considering the different distributions of data is much more difficult to address (imbalance…

The recent e-Benjamini-Hochberg (e-BH) procedure for multiple hypothesis testing is known to control the false discovery rate (FDR) under arbitrary dependence between the input e-values. This paper points out an important subtlety when…

In multiple hypotheses testing it has become widely popular to make inference on the true discovery proportion (TDP) of a set $\mathcal{M}$ of null hypotheses. This approach is useful for several application fields, such as neuroimaging and…

Heteroskedastic errors can lead to inaccurate statistical conclusions if they are not properly handled. We introduce a test for heteroskedasticity for the nonparametric regression model with multiple covariates. It is based on a suitable…

Controlling the false discovery rate (FDR) in high-dimensional variable selection requires balancing rigorous error control with statistical power. Existing methods with provable guarantees are often overly conservative, creating a…

For multiple testing based on p-values with c\`{a}dl\`{a}g distribution functions, we propose an FDR procedure "BH+" with proven conservativeness. BH+ is at least as powerful as the BH procedure when they are applied to super-uniform…

In biomedical Subgroup Discovery, practitioners are interested in discovering interpretable and homogeneous subgroups within a group of patients. In this paper, assuming that healthy subjects (i.e., controls) share common but irrelevant…

False discovery rate (FDR) has been widely used as an error measure in large scale multiple testing problems, but most research in the area has been focused on procedures for controlling the FDR based on independent test statistics or the…

After the seminal Benjamini-Hochberg (BH) procedure for controlling the false discovery rate (FDR) was proposed, dozens of papers have attempted to improve its power by adapting to the unknown proportion of nulls. We observe that most null…

We study the convergence of the false discovery proportion (FDP) of the Benjamini-Hochberg procedure in the Gaussian equi-correlated model, when the correlation $\rho_m$ converges to zero as the hypothesis number $m$ grows to infinity. By…
