The Benjamini-Hochberg method in the case of discrete test statistics.
نویسنده
چکیده
We present a reformulation of the Benjamini-Hochberg method that is useful in 'large-scale' multiple testing problems based on discrete test statistics and derive its basic asymptotic (as the number of hypotheses tends to infinity) properties, subsuming earlier results. A set of gene expression data is used to illustrate the workings of the method in a multiple testing problem based on Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Mann-Whitney statistics.

Multiple Signal Detection Using the Benjamini-hochberg Procedure
We treat the detection problem for multiple signals embedded in noisy observations from a sensor array as a multiple hypothesis test based on log-likelihood ratios. To control the global level of the multiple test, we apply the false discovery rate (FDR) criterion proposed by Benjamini and Hochberg. The power of this multiple test has been investigated through narrow band simulations in previou...
متن کاملOn optimality of the Benjamini–Hochberg procedure for the false discovery rate
The Benjamini–Hochberg step-up procedure controls the false discovery rate (FDR) provided the test statistics have a certain positive regression dependency. We show that this procedure controls the FDR under a weaker property and is optimal in the sense that its critical constants are uniformly greater than those of any step-up procedure with the FDR controlling property. c © 2008 Elsevier B.V....
متن کاملOn Signal Detection Using the Benjamini-hochberg Procedure
We investigate a multiple hypothesis test designed for detecting signals embedded in noisy observations of a sensor array. The global level of the multiple test is controlled by the false discovery rate (FDR) criterion recently suggested by Benjamini and Hochberg instead of the classical familywise error rate (FWE) criterion. In the previous study [3], the suggested procedure has shown promisin...
متن کاملSome Results on False Discovery Rate in Stepwise Multiple Testing Procedures1 by Sanat
The concept of false discovery rate (FDR) has been receiving increasing attention by researchers in multiple hypotheses testing. This paper produces some theoretical results on the FDR in the context of stepwise multiple testing procedures with dependent test statistics. It was recently shown by Benjamini and Yekutieli that the Benjamini–Hochberg step-up procedure controls the FDR when the test...
متن کاملPower-enhanced Multiple Decision Functions Controlling Family-wise Error and False Discovery Rates.
Improved procedures, in terms of smaller missed discovery rates (MDR), for performing multiple hypotheses testing with weak and strong control of the family-wise error rate (FWER) or the false discovery rate (FDR) are developed and studied. The improvement over existing procedures such as the Šidák procedure for FWER control and the Benjamini-Hochberg (BH) procedure for FDR control is achieved ...
