Bachhofer-Gupta-Sobel Memorial Symposium on
Ranking and Selection and Multiple Comparison Procedures Methodologies

 
Sanat K. Sarkar is Professor of Statistics and Senior Research Fellow in the Fox School of Business at Temple University. He has published several articles in a wide variety of statistical areas, such as, categorical data analysis, multiple testing, multivariate statistics, pharmaceutical statistics, probability inequalities and survival analysis, many of which have appeared in top-tier journals. Recently, he has made ground-breaking contributions to the area of multiple testing, having solved a conjecture that had been outstanding for more than a decade. He co-edited two volumes and presented invited talks at numerous national and international conferences. His research has been funded by NSF and NSA. He has supervised fifteen Ph.D. students. He was named to the research honor roll three times and awarded the Musser Award for excellence in research by the Fox School of Business. He is a Fellow of the American Statistical Association, an elected member of the International Statistical Institute.

Generalizing Holm’s and Hochberg’s Stepwise Procedures for Multiple Hypothesis Testing

Having realized that the familywise error rate(FWER) is too stringent to control when large number of hypotheses are tested, researchers have recently focused on defining less stringent error rates and developing methods that control them. Recently, Lehmann and Romano (2005, Annals of Statistics) and Romano and Shaikh (2006, to appear in Annals of Statistics) have considered controlling the k- FWER, the probability of falsely rejecting at least k null hypotheses, and proposed single-step and stepwise procedures that control this error rate. Newer and often more powerful procedures controlling the k-FWER will be presented in this talk. These procedures are developed based on a generalization of Simes’ test.
