错误发现比例中位数的灵活控制AI 解读

Summary We introduce a multiple testing procedure that controls the median of the proportion of false discoveries in a flexible way. The procedure requires only a vector of p-values as input and is comparable to the Benjamini–Hochberg method, which controls the mean of the proportion of false discoveries. Our method allows free choice of one or several values of $ \alpha $ after seeing the data, unlike the Benjamini–Hochberg procedure, which can be very anti-conservative…

多重检验与选择性推断中的选择和条件化AI 解读

Summary We investigate a class of methods for selective inference that condition on a selection event. Such methods follow a two-stage process. First, a data-driven collection of hypotheses is chosen from some large universe of hypotheses. Subsequently, inference takes place within this data-driven collection, conditioned on the information that was used for the selection. Examples of such methods include basic data splitting as well as modern data-carving methods and…

重新审视簇范围推断：脑活动的量化与定位AI 解读

Abstract Cluster inference based on spatial extent thresholding is a popular analysis method multiple testing in spatial data, and is frequently used for finding activated brain areas in neuroimaging. However, the method has several well-known issues. While powerful for finding regions with some activation, the method as currently defined does not allow any further quantification or localisation of signal. In this paper, we repair this gap. We show that cluster-extent…

基于置换与求和检验的真实发现比例保证AI 解读

Abstract Sum-based global tests are highly popular in multiple hypothesis testing. In this paper, we propose a general closed testing procedure for sum tests, which provides lower confidence bounds for the proportion of true discoveries (TDPs), simultaneously over all subsets of hypotheses. These simultaneous inferences come for free, i.e., without any adjustment of the α-level, whenever a global test is used. Our method allows for an exploratory approach, as simultaneity…

约束似然比检验的自适应临界值AI 解读

Summary We present a new general method for constrained likelihood ratio testing which, when few constraints are violated, improves upon the existing approach in the literature that compares the likelihood ratio with the quantile of a mixture of chi-squared distributions; the improvement is in terms of both simplicity and power. The proposed method compares the constrained likelihood ratio statistic against the quantile of only one chi-squared random variable with…

大规模多重检验中所有假设子集的错误发现比例同时控制AI 解读

Summary Closed testing procedures are classically used for familywise error rate control, but they can also be used to obtain simultaneous confidence bounds for the false discovery proportion in all subsets of the hypotheses, allowing for inference robust to post hoc selection of subsets. In this paper we investigate the special case of closed testing with Simes local tests. We construct a novel fast and exact shortcut and use it to investigate the power of this approach…
