Zhiyi Chi
Associate Professor
Department of Statistics
University of Connecticut
Multiple hypothesis testing is challenging when signals in data are
weak, the distributions of noise and signals are not completely known,
or there is statistical dependency in data. I will present some
theoretical results on these issues. I will show that
self-normalized
large deviations can be useful in dealing with experiment designs for
weak signals, linear programming can be used to evaluate p-values when
data distributions are not completely known, and techniques similar to
nonlinear filtering can be used to analyze the performance of multiple
testing on hidden states of Markov models that may be nonstationary.
