Summary.  We discuss a Bayesian discovery procedure for multiple‐comparison problems. We show that, under a coherent decision theoretic framework, a loss function combining true positive and false positive counts leads to a decision rule that is based on a threshold of the posterior probability of the alternative. Under a semiparametric model for the data, we show that the Bayes rule can be approximated by the optimal discovery procedure, which was recently introduced by Storey. Improving the…

A hierarchical Bayesian approach to multiple testing in disease mapping

A tri‐level hierarchical Bayesian model is developed to estimate for each area the posterior classification probability that is the posterior probability that the municipality belongs to the set of non‐divergent areas and performs a sensitivity analysis and suggests how to rely on subject‐specific information to derive informative a priori distributions.

A Bayesian Multiple Testing Paradigm for Model Selection in Inverse Regression Problems

In this article, we propose a novel Bayesian multiple testing formulation for model and variable selection in inverse setups, judiciously embedding the idea of inverse reference distributions…

Non-marginal decisions: A novel Bayesian multiple testing procedure

This article develops a novel Bayesian multiple testing procedure that substantially enhances efficiency by judicious exploitation of the dependence structure among the hypotheses, and proves theoretical results on the relevant error probabilities, establishing the coherence and usefulness of the method.

Bayesian decision theoretic multiple comparison procedures: An application to phage display data

A case study that highlights the features and limitations of a principled Bayesian decision theoretic approach to massive multiple comparisons for a mouse phage display experiment with three stages and considers two alternative approaches to address this multiplicity issue.

Empirical Bayes factors for common hypothesis tests

Bayes factors for composite hypotheses have difficulty in encoding vague prior knowledge, as improper priors cannot be used and objective priors may be subjectively unreasonable. To address these…

Non-marginal Decisions: New Bayesian Multiple Testing Procedures

Novel procedures are developed based on new notions of error and non-error terms associated with breaking up the total number of hypotheses, and the resulting function to be maximized is additive in nature, and so does not compromise in any way with the requirement of non-marginalized decisions.

Species Sampling Priors for Modeling Dependence: An Application to the Detection of Chromosomal Aberrations

A class of Bayesian nonparametric priors that can be used to model local dependence in a sequence of observations, and how the Beta-GOS can provide a reasonable alternative to the use of non-homogenous Hidden Markov models is discussed.

Asymptotic Theory of a Non-Marginal Multiple Testing Procedure and Comparison With Existing Methods

It is able to prove that the non-marginal method retrospectively yields the Bayes oracle with respect to a loss function based on the Kullback-Leibler divergence measure.

Semiparametric Bayesian Inference for Phage Display Data

In inference for a human phage display experiment with three stages, the primary aim is to identify ligands that bind with high affinity to a given tissue, and a semiparametric Dirichlet process mixture of Poisson model is used.

FDR and Bayesian Multiple Comparisons Rules

An optimal Bayes rule is derived that is a variation of the Benjamini and Hochberg (1995) procedure, based on increments in ordered posterior probabilities instead of ordered pvalues, to derive conditional expected FDR, conditional on the data.

Bayesian optimal discovery procedure for simultaneous significance testing

The Bayesian ODP outperforms the other methods in this study, including the original ODP, based on the fact that Bayesian model borrows strength across genes in estimating unknown parameters.

The optimal discovery procedure: a new approach to simultaneous significance testing

Summary.  The Neyman–Pearson lemma provides a simple procedure for optimally testing a single hypothesis when the null and alternative distributions are known. This result has played a major role in…

A comparison of the Benjamini-Hochberg procedure with some Bayesian rules for multiple testing

The results confirm the observation of Genovese and Wasserman (2002) that for small p the misclassification error of BH is close to optimal in the sense of attaining the Bayes oracle.

Optimal Sample Size for Multiple Testing

We consider the choice of an optimal sample size for multiple-comparison problems. The motivating application is the choice of the number of microarray experiments to be carried out when learning…

A direct approach to false discovery rates

The calculation of the q‐value is discussed, the pFDR analogue of the p‐value, which eliminates the need to set the error rate beforehand as is traditionally done, and can yield an increase of over eight times in power compared with the Benjamini–Hochberg FDR method.

Consistency of Bayes estimators of a binary regression function

If a data-stream is generated according to any fixed, measurable binary-regression function f o ≢ 1/2, then frequentist consistency obtains: that is, for any v with infinite support, the posterior of π v concentrates on any L1 neighborhood of f 0 .

Multiple Hypothesis Testing by Clustering Treatment Effects

A hybrid methodology that uses clustering information to increase testing sensitivity and accommodates uncertainty in the true clustering, and the hybrid methodology averages over uncertainty in these clusters through Markov chain sampling is developed.

Empirical Bayes Analysis of a Microarray Experiment

A simple nonparametric empirical Bayes model is introduced, which is used to guide the efficient reduction of the data to a single summary statistic per gene, and also to make simultaneous inferences concerning which genes were affected by the radiation.
