Stepwise Confidence Intervals without Multiplicity Adjustment for Dose—Response and Toxicity Studies
剂量反应与毒性研究中无需多重性调整的逐步置信区间
Not all simultaneous inferences need multiplicity adjustment. If the sequence of individual inferences is predefined, and failure to achieve the desired inference at any step renders subsequent inferences unnecessary, then multiplicity adjustment is not needed. This can be justified using the closed testing principle to test appropriate hypotheses that are nested in sequence, starting with the most restrictive one. But what hypotheses are appropriate may not be obvious in…
