چکیده

We discuss Bayesian approaches to multiple comparison problems, using a decision theoretic perspective to critically compare competing approaches. We set up decision problems that lead to the use of FDR-based rules and generalizations. Alternative definitions of the probability model and the utility function lead to different rules and problem-specific adjustments. Using a loss function that controls realized FDR we derive an optimal Bayes rule that is a variation of the Benjamini and Hochberg (1995) procedure. The cutoff is based on increments in ordered posterior probabilities instead of ordered p-values. Throughout the discussion we take a Bayesian perspective. In particular, we focus on conditional expected FDR, conditional on the data. Variations of the probability model include explicit modeling for dependence. Variations of the utility function include weighting by the extent of a true negative and accounting for the impact in the final decision.

A Bayesian decision theoretic approach to directional multiple hypotheses problems

A multiple hypothesis problem with directional alternatives is considered in a decision theoretic framework. Skewness in the alternatives is considered, and it is shown that this skewness permits the Bayes rules to possess certain advantages when one direction of the alternatives is more important or more probable than the other direction. Bayes rules subject to constrains on certain directiona...

Model-Based Approach to FDR Estimation

False Discovery Rate (FDR) has become commonly used in multiple comparisons, in part driven by studies involving large numbers of parameters, e.g. microarray data analysis. FDR is a philosophically different approach from traditional hypothesis testing, and it offers a conceptually consistent framework for multiple hypothesis testing when the primary objective focuses on discovery instead of te...

Wavelet thresholding with bayesian false discovery rate control.

The false discovery rate (FDR) procedure has become a popular method for handling multiplicity in high-dimensional data. The definition of FDR has a natural Bayesian interpretation; it is the expected proportion of null hypotheses mistakenly rejected given a measure of evidence for their truth. In this article, we propose controlling the positive FDR using a Bayesian approach where the rejectio...

False Discovery Rate and Correction for Multiple Comparisons in Association Genome Screens for Complex Disorders

There is great current interest in using linkage disequilibrium (LD)-based genome screens to localize genes responsible for common diseases. These screens involve many more markers than traditional linkage studies and therefore present the issue of defining an appropriate significance threshold that takes into account the consequent multiple comparisons. We explore the conceptual and practical ...

A Bayesian Approach to Large Scale Simultaneous Inference

We discuss Bayesian decision rules for highly multiple comparisons in the context of differential expression in microarray studies. Some of the advantages of our Bayesian approach include: flexible modeling of gene expressions, many options for decision rules to control either expectation or nonexpectation error rates, insensitivity to weak dependencies in the data, and pooling of results while...
