Testing for clustering at many ranges inflates family-wise error rate (FWE)
BACKGROUND Testing for clustering at multiple ranges within a single dataset is a common practice in spatial epidemiology. It is not documented whether this approach has an impact on the type 1 error rate. METHODS We estimated the family-wise error rate (FWE) for the difference in Ripley's K functions test, when testing at an increasing number of ranges at an alpha-level of 0.05. Case and con...
متن کاملMultiple testing. Part II. Step-down procedures for control of the family-wise error rate.
The present article proposes two step-down multiple testing procedures for asymptotic control of the family-wise error rate (FWER): the first procedure is based on maxima of test statistics (step-down maxT), while the second relies on minima of unadjusted p-values (step-down minP). A key feature of our approach is the characterization and construction of a test statistics null distribution (rat...
متن کاملBounding the k-family-wise error rate using resampling methods
The multiple hypothesis testing (MHT) problem has long been tackled by controlling the family-wise error rate (FWER), which is the probability that any of the hypotheses tested is unjustly rejected. The best known method to achieve FWER control is the Bonferroni correction, but more powerful techniques such as step-up and step-down methods exist. A particular challenge to be dealt with in MHT p...
متن کاملFamily wise separation rates for multiple testing
Starting from a parallel between some minimax adaptive tests of a single null hypothesis, based on aggregation approaches, and some tests of multiple hypotheses, we propose a new second kind error-related evaluation criterion, as the core of an emergent minimax theory for multiple tests. Aggregation-based tests, proposed for instance by [1], [2], or [6], are justified through their first kind e...
متن کاملVariable selection for qualitative interactions in personalized medicine while controlling the family-wise error rate.
For many years, subset analysis has been a popular topic for the biostatistics and clinical trials literature. In more recent years, the discussion has focused on finding subsets of genomes which play a role in the effect of treatment, often referred to as stratified or personalized medicine. Though highly sought after, methods for detecting subsets with altering treatment effects are limited a...
