Multiple comparisons and association selection in general epidemiology.
In this issue of the journal, Prof. Jon Wakefield provides a contribution to the complex topic of screening genetic associations. My comments here are intended to clarify some points and outline connections of his discussion to broader problems, describing how methods such as Wakefield’s can be appropriate in epidemiology beyond genetic research. I will also comment on a few aspects of his pres...
متن کاملRanking, Selection and Multiple Comparisons in Computer Simulation
We present a state-of-the-art review of ranking, selection and multiple-comparison procedures that are used to compare system designs via computer simulation. We describe methods for four classes of problems: screening a large number of system designs, selecting the best system, comparing all systems to a standard and comparing alternatives to a default. Rather than give a comprehensive review ...
متن کاملMultiple comparisons in genetic association studies: a hierarchical modeling approach.
Multiple comparisons or multiple testing has been viewed as a thorny issue in genetic association studies aiming to detect disease-associated genetic variants from a large number of genotyped variants. We alleviate the problem of multiple comparisons by proposing a hierarchical modeling approach that is fundamentally different from the existing methods. The proposed hierarchical models simultan...

Multiple comparisons
While multiple testing procedures have been the focus of much statistical research, an important facet of the problem is how to deal with possible confounding. Procedures have been developed by authors in genetics and statistics. In this chapter, we relate these proposals. We propose two new multiple testing approaches within this framework. The first combines sensitivity analysis methods with ...
