On the Tuning Parameter for the Adaptive Bonferroni Procedure under Positive Dependence

Abstract

Ji Won Byun and Jianan Peng

Guo introduced an adaptive Bonferroni procedure and he proved that his adaptive Bonferroni procedure controls the familywise error rate under a conditional dependence model. However, how to choose the tuning parameter λ to control the familywise error rate in the procedure under positive dependence is not clear in his paper. In this paper, we suggest that λ = α . Simulation studies are provided.
