Effectively controlling the false discovery rate (FDR) in high-dimensional variable selection is a fundamental statistical problem that has garnered significant research interest. In this paper, we propose a novel, user-friendly, and…
False discovery rate (FDR) has been a key metric for error control in multiple hypothesis testing, and many methods have developed for FDR control across a diverse cross-section of settings and applications. We develop a closure principle…
In many fields of science, we observe a response variable together with a large number of potential explanatory variables, and would like to be able to discover which variables are truly associated with the response. At the same time, we…
Multiple testing adjustments, such as the Benjamini and Hochberg (1995) step-up procedure for controlling the false discovery rate (FDR), are typically applied to families of tests that control significance level in the classical sense: for…
We provide the first differentially private algorithms for controlling the false discovery rate (FDR) in multiple hypothesis testing, with essentially no loss in power under certain conditions. Our general approach is to adapt a well-known…
We consider the problem of multiple hypothesis testing with generic side information: for each hypothesis $H_i$ we observe both a p-value $p_i$ and some predictor $x_i$ encoding contextual information about the hypothesis. For large-scale…
In industrial settings, surface defects on steel can significantly compromise its service life and elevate potential safety risks. Traditional defect detection methods predominantly rely on manual inspection, which suffers from low…
The false discovery rate (FDR) measures the share of false positives in a set of statistical tests. I develop simple and intuitive bounds on the FDR in cross-sectional predictability publications. The simplest bound requires just a few…
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.…
The PC algorithm allows investigators to estimate a complete partially directed acyclic graph (CPDAG) from a finite dataset, but few groups have investigated strategies for estimating and controlling the false discovery rate (FDR) of the…
The traditional approaches to false discovery rate (FDR) control in multiple hypothesis testing are usually based on the null distribution of a test statistic. However, all types of null distributions, including the theoretical,…
Recently, Barber and Cand\`es laid the theoretical foundation for a general framework for false discovery rate (FDR) control based on the notion of "knockoffs." A closely related FDR control methodology has long been employed in the…
The detection of malware is a critical task for the protection of computing environments. This task often requires extremely low false positive rates (FPR) of 0.01% or even lower, for which modern machine learning has no readily available…
We attempt to recover an $n$-dimensional vector observed in white noise, where $n$ is large and the vector is known to be sparse, but the degree of sparsity is unknown. We consider three different ways of defining sparsity of a vector:…
We present a novel necessary and sufficient principle for False Discovery Rate (FDR) control. This e-Partitioning Principle says that a procedure controls FDR if and only if it is a special case of a general e-Partitioning procedure. By…
This paper is a review of the popular Benjamini Hochberg Method and other related useful methods of Multiple Hypothesis testing. This is written with the purpose of serving a short but complete easy to understand review of the main article…
This paper presents a survey on some recent advances for the type I error rate control in multiple testing methodology. We consider the problem of controlling the $k$-family-wise error rate (kFWER, probability to make $k$ false discoveries…
When evaluated in dynamic, open-world situations, neural networks struggle to detect unseen classes. This issue complicates the deployment of continual learners in realistic environments where agents are not explicitly informed when novel…
In the high dimensional regression analysis when the number of predictors is much larger than the sample size, an important question is to select the important variable which are relevant to the response variable of interest. Variable…
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…
