Controlling the false discovery rate with dynamic adaptive procedures and of grouped hypotheses
(University of Waterloo, 2018-08-08)In the multiple testing problem with independent tests, the classical Benjamini-Hochberg (BH) procedure controls the false discovery rate (FDR) below the target FDR level. Adaptive procedures can improve power by ... -
Nonparametric Estimation in a Compound Mixture Model and False Discovery Rate Control with Auxiliary Information
(University of Waterloo, 2020-05-15)In this thesis, we focus on two important statistical problems. The first is the nonparametric estimation in a compound mixture model with application to the malaria study. The second is the control of the false discovery ... -
Statistical Methods for Large-scale Multiple Testing Problems
(University of Waterloo, 2019-04-26)A large-scale multiple testing problem simultaneously tests thousands or even millions of null hypotheses, and it is widely used in different fields, for example genetics and astronomy. An error rate serves as a measure ...
