Title: Testing Individual Hypothesis Marginally at 0.05 Without Inflation of the Family-Wise Error Rate

Abstract:

As a clinical trial statistician, I was challenged numerous times by the question "can we test each hypothesis at 0.05?" Being asked again and again, finally I started asking myself: Can we test each hypothesis at 0.05 and how? This presentation will provide an answer to the question by constructing consonant multiple testing procedures. The consonant requirement is relatively inconsequential in a clinical trial when multiple primary endpoints have low correlations (rho = 0.3). For other scenarios, a modified version is proposed. These procedures are particularly useful when the collective evidence across endpoints or consistency across endpoints is expected or required.
