The main research topic in this dissertation is the development of the closure method of multiple testing procedures. Considering a general procedure that allows the underlying test statistics as well as the associated parameters to be dependent, we first propose a step-down procedure controlling the FWER, which is defined as the probability of committing at least one false discovery. Holm (1979) first proposed a step-down procedure for multiple hypothesis testing with a control of the familywise error rate (FWER) under any kind of dependence. Under the normal distributional setup, Seneta and Chen (2005) sharpened the Holm procedure by taking into account the correlations between the test statistics. In this dissertation, the Seneta-Chen procedure is further modified yielding a more powerful FWER controlling procedure. We then advance our research and propose another step-down procedure to control the generalized FWER (k-FWER), which is defined as the probability of making at least k false discoveries. We compare our proposed k-FWER procedure with the Lehmann and Romano (2005) procedure. The proposed k-FWER procedure is more powerful, particularly when there is a strong dependence in the tests. When the proportion of true null hypotheses is expected to be small, the traditional tests are usually conservative by a factor associated with pi0, which is the proportion of true null hypotheses among all null hypotheses. Under independence, two procedures controlling the FWER and the k-FWER are proposed in this dissertation. Simulations are carried out to show that our procedures often provide much better FWER or k-FWER control and power than the traditional procedures.

As the availability of large datasets becomes more prevalent, so does the need to discover significant findings among a large collection of hypotheses. Multiple testing procedures (MTP) are used to control the familywise error rate (FWER) or the chance to commit at least one type I error when performing multiple hypotheses testing. When controlling the FWER, the power of a MTP to detect significant differences decreases as the number of hypotheses increases. It would be ideal to discover the same false null hypotheses despite the family of hypotheses chosen to be tested. Holland and Cheung (2002) developed measures called familywise robustness criteria (FWR) to study the effect of family size on the acceptance and rejection of a hypothesis. Their analysis focused on procedures that controlled FWER and false discovery rate (FDR). Newer MTPs have since been developed which control the generalized FWER (gFWER (k) or k-FWER) and false discovery proportion (FDP) or tail probabilities for the proportion of false positives (TPPFP). This dissertation reviews these newer procedures and then discusses the effect of family size using the FWRs of Holland and Cheung. In the case where the test statistics are independent and the null hypotheses are all true, the Type R enlargement familywise robustness measure can be expressed as a ratio of the expected number of Type I errors. In simulations, positive dependence among the test statistics was introduced, the expected number of Type I errors and the Type R enlargement FWR increased for step-up procedures with higher levels of correlation, but not for step-down or single-step procedures.

This book establishes the theoretical foundations of a general methodology for multiple hypothesis testing and discusses its software implementation in R and SAS. These are applied to a range of problems in biomedical and genomic research, including identification of differentially expressed and co-expressed genes in high-throughput gene expression experiments; tests of association between gene expression measures and biological annotation metadata; sequence analysis; and genetic mapping of complex traits using single nucleotide polymorphisms. The procedures are based on a test statistics joint null distribution and provide Type I error control in testing problems involving general data generating distributions, null hypotheses, and test statistics.

The importance of multiplicity adjustment has gained wide recognition in modern scientific research. Without it, there will be too many spurious results and reproducibility becomes an issue; with it, if overtly conservative, discoveries will be made more difficult. In the current literature on repeated testing of multiple hypotheses, Bonferroni-based methods are still the main vehicle carrying the bulk of multiplicity adjustment. There is room for power improvement by suitably utilizing both hypothesis-wise and analysis- wise dependencies. This research will contribute to the development of a natural group-sequential extension of the classical stepwise multiple testing procedures, such as Dunnett's stepdown and Hochberg's step-up procedures. It is shown that the proposed group-sequential procedures strongly control the familywise error rate while being more powerful than the recently developed class of group-sequential Bonferroni-Holm's procedures. Particularly in this research, a convexity property is discovered for the distribution of the maxima of pairwise null P-values with the underlying test statistics having distributions such as bivariate normal, t, Gamma, F, or Archimedean copulas. Such property renders itself for an immediate use in improving Holm's procedure by incorporating pairwise dependencies of P-values. The improved Holm's procedure, as all stepdown multiple testing procedures, can also be naturally extended to group-sequential setting.

Combines recent developments in resampling technology (including the bootstrap) with new methods for multiple testing that are easy to use, convenient to report and widely applicable. Software from SAS Institute is available to execute many of the methods and programming is straightforward for other applications. Explains how to summarize results using adjusted p-values which do not necessitate cumbersome table look-ups. Demonstrates how to incorporate logical constraints among hypotheses, further improving power.
