Title: What Is Typ- II Error in Multiple Testing?
Author(s): Mohammed Alam*+ and Marepalli Rao
Companies: University of Cincinnati and University of Cincinnati
Address: Dept of Environmental Health, Cincinnati, OH, 45267, United States
Keywords: Multiple Testing ; Type I error ; Type II error ; False Discovery Rate ; Family-wise error rate
Abstract:

In the framework of single hypothesis testing, the concepts of Type-I and Type-II error are well laid out. The literature on multiple hypotheses testing is replete with a number of ideas on how type-I error should be defined. However, not much is discussed on how type-II error should be defined. In this presentation, we will outline a number of ideas how to define type-II error probability via simple illustrative examples.
