Multiple hypotheses testing and expected number of type I. errors
多重假设检验与第一类错误的期望次数
The performance of multiple test procedures with respect to error control is an old issue. Assuming that all hypotheses are true we investigate the behavior of the expected number of type I errors (ENE) as a characteristic of certain multiple tests controlling the familywise error rate (FWER) or the false discovery rate (FDR) at a prespecified level. We derive explicit formulas for the distribution of the number of false rejections as well as for the ENE for single-step,…
