We address a common problem in large-scale data analysis, and especially the field of genetics, the huge-scale testing problem, where millions to billions of hypotheses are tested together creating a computational challenge to perform…

The Bonferroni multiple testing procedure is commonly perceived as being overly conservative in large-scale simultaneous testing situations such as those that arise in microarray data analysis. The objective of the present study is to show…

We consider the problem of comparing a reference distribution with several other distributions. Given a sample from both the reference and the comparison groups, we aim to identify the comparison groups whose distributions differ from that…

False discovery rate (FDR) is a commonly used criterion in multiple testing and the Benjamini-Hochberg (BH) procedure is arguably the most popular approach with FDR guarantee. To improve power, the adaptive BH procedure has been proposed by…

Consider a set of order statistics that arise from sorting samples from two different populations, each with their own, possibly different distribution function. The probability that these order statistics fall in disjoint, ordered…

Tests of equality of copulas between two samples are introduced and studied using the empirical Bernstein copula process. Three statistics are proposed and their asymptotic properties are established. Besides, a subsampling Bernstein…

The knockoff-based multiple testing setup of Barber & Candes (2015) for variable selection in multiple regression where sample size is as large as the number of explanatory variables is considered. The method of Benjamini & Hochberg (1995)…

In this paper, we focus on testing multivariate normality using the BHEP test with data that are missing completely at random. Our objective is twofold: first, to gain insight into the asymptotic behavior of BHEP test statistics under two…

We consider large-scale studies in which thousands of significance tests are performed simultaneously. In some of these studies, the multiple testing procedure can be severely biased by latent confounding factors such as batch effects and…

Modern data analysis frequently involves large-scale hypothesis testing, which naturally gives rise to the problem of maintaining control of a suitable type I error rate, such as the false discovery rate (FDR). In many biomedical and…

The Benjamini-Hochberg (BH) procedure remains widely popular despite having limited theoretical guarantees in the commonly encountered scenario of correlated test statistics. Of particular concern is the possibility that the method could…

To find interesting items in genome-wide association studies or next generation sequencing data, a crucial point is to design powerful false discovery rate (FDR) controlling procedures that suitably combine discrete tests (typically…

The present paper establishes new multiple procedures for simultaneous testing of a large number of hypotheses under dependence. Special attention is devoted to experiments with rare false hypotheses. This sparsity assumption is typically…

Consider the problem of testing $s$ hypotheses simultaneously. The usual approach restricts attention to procedures that control the probability of even one false rejection, the familywise error rate (FWER). If $s$ is large, one might be…

Recently, Sturma, Drton, and Leung proposed a general-purpose stochastic method for hypothesis testing in models defined by polynomial equality and inequality constraints. Notably, the method remains theoretically valid even near irregular…

We introduce a new class of methods for finite-sample false discovery rate (FDR) control in multiple testing problems with dependent test statistics where the dependence is fully or partially known. Our approach separately calibrates a…
