How do you handle multiple comparisons?
Below, I’ll provide a brief overview of available correction procedures for multiple comparisons.
- Bonferroni Correction. The most conservative of corrections, the Bonferroni correction is also perhaps the most straightforward in its approach.
- Sidak Correction.
- Holm’s Step-Down Procedure.
- Hochberg’s Step-Up Procedure.
How do you correct multiple hypothesis?
Bonferroni Correction method is simple; we control the α by divide it with the number of the testing/number of the hypothesis for each hypothesis. If we make it into an equation, the α Bonferroni is the significant α divided by m (number of hypotheses).
Why do we do multiple test corrections?
Multiple testing correction adjusts the individual p-value for each gene to keep the overall error rate (or false positive rate) to less than or equal to the user-specified p-value cutoff or error rate.
How do you correct multiple t tests?
If you wish to make a Bonferroni multiple-significance-test correction, compare the reported significance probability with your chosen significance level, e.g., . 05, divided by the number of t-tests in the Table. According to Bonferroni, if you are testing the null hypothesis at the p≤.
What is the problem with running multiple t-tests?
Why not compare groups with multiple t-tests? Every time you conduct a t-test there is a chance that you will make a Type I error. This error is usually 5%. By running two t-tests on the same data you will have increased your chance of “making a mistake” to 10%.
What is the result of multiple testing?
In statistics, the multiple comparisons, multiplicity or multiple testing problem occurs when one considers a set of statistical inferences simultaneously or infers a subset of parameters selected based on the observed values. In certain fields it is known as the look-elsewhere effect.
