Abstract:

Can we do a large scale simultaneous hypothesis testing to separate signal or non-null cases from noise or null cases, using local false discovery method (Efron, 2004) under the following situation:

(A1.) Null distribution is not necessarily Normal.

(A2.) Do not need to specify/estimate alternative model.

(A3.) Can we handle discrete data ?

(A3.) Can we "Directly" estimate ratio of two density rather than estimating the null and marginal density Separately and then taking the ratio (Inefficient!).

The aim of this paper to introduce a NEW method, CDfdr based on several key ideas like comparison density, density quantile function, Pre-flattened smoothing, which accomplish the goal.

Joint Work with Prof. Emanuel Parzen.
