Abstract:
|
In the analysis of high-throughput data, a massive number of hypotheses are tested simultaneously. Correcting for multiple testing becomes problematic because relatively simple procedures such as the Bonferroni correction are overly conservative, whereas ignoring the problem altogether leads to a very high number of false rejections. This is especially true when trying to identify sparse signals. Many multiple testing procedures, both Bayesian and frequentist, rely on the assumption of independence of the data. One particular Bayesian procedure for the simultaneous testing of independent data was given in Scott and Berger (2006). We extend this method by introducing a conditional autoregressive (CAR) model to account for spatial dependence. The model is applied to data from a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) study and compared to results obtained under the independence assumption.
