Optimal testing of multiple hypotheses with common effect direction
效应方向相同的多重假设最优检验
We present a theoretical basis for testing related endpoints. Typically, it is known how to construct tests of the individual hypotheses, but not how to combine them into a multiple test procedure that controls the familywise error rate. Using the closure method, we emphasize the role of consonant procedures, from an interpretive as well as a theoretical viewpoint. Surprisingly, even if each intersection test has an optimality property, the overall procedure obtained by…
