Stouffer’s Test in a Large Scale Simultaneous Hypothesis Testing
In microarray data analysis, we are often required to combine several dependent partial test results. To overcome this, many suggestions have been made in previous literature; Tippett's test and Fisher's omnibus test are most popular. Both tests have known null distributions when the partial tests are independent. However, for dependent tests, their (even, asymptotic) null distributions are unk...
متن کاملLarge-Scale Simultaneous Hypothesis Testing: The Choice of a Null Hypothesis
Current scienti c techniques in genomics and image processing routinely produce hypothesis testing problems with hundreds or thousands of cases to consider simultaneously. This poses new dif culties for the statistician, but also opens new opportunities. In particular, it allows empirical estimation of an appropriate null hypothesis. The empirical null may be considerably more dispersed than ...
متن کاملEAMA: Empirically adjusted meta-analysis for large-scale simultaneous hypothesis testing in genomic experiments
Recent developments in high throughput genomic assays have opened up the possibility of testing hundreds and thousands of genes simultaneously. However, adhering to the regular statistical assumptions regarding the null distributions of test statistics in such large-scale multiple testing frameworks has the potential of leading to incorrect significance testing results and biased inference. Thi...
متن کاملCorrelation and Large-Scale Simultaneous Significance Testing
Large-scale hypothesis testing problems, with hundreds or thousands of test statistics “zi” to consider at once, have become familiar in current practice. Applications of popular analysis methods such as false discovery rate techniques do not require independence of the zi’s, but their accuracy can be compromised in high-correlation situations. This paper presents computational and theoretical ...
متن کاملA large scale test of the gaming-enhancement hypothesis
A growing research literature suggests that regular electronic game play and game-based training programs may confer practically significant benefits to cognitive functioning. Most evidence supporting this idea, the gaming-enhancement hypothesis, has been collected in small-scale studies of university students and older adults. This research investigated the hypothesis in a general way with a l...
