Abstract:

This article introduces a class of multiple testing procedures. These procedures are developed by seeking an approach that is more adaptive to the real configuration of true and false null hypotheses by studying the behaviors of the p-values. Theoretical and simulation results will be presented. The proposed procedures seem to have good control of FDR (the false discovery rate). Preliminary studies also show promising gain in power.
