TITLE: Multiple Tests For Gene Expression Data
ABSTRACT: The talk shall consider certain aspects of the
resampling-based multiple testing methodology commonly used for
analyzing gene expressions data. In particular, it will examine some of
the key concepts behind the popular step down procedures for $p$-values
adjustments like the partial null hypothesis, strong control of the
family-wise error rate, and the subset pivotality property. The
presentation will attempt to point out to some potential difficulties
in applying these concepts in the typical setting of the gene
expressions analysis. Joint work with Yuhong Yang at Iowa State.
