procedures 5 Alternative approaches 6 References History[edit] Tukey coined the terms experimentwise error rate and "error rate per-experiment" to indicate error rates that the researcher could use as a control level in a multiple hypothesis experiment.[citation needed] Background[edit] Within the statistical framework, there are several definitions for the term "family": Hochberg & Tamhane defined "family" in 1987 as "any collection family wise error rate formula of inferences for which it is meaningful to take into account some combined measure of error".[1][pageneeded] According to Cox in 1982, a set of inferences should be regarded a family:[citation needed] To take into account the selection effect due to data dredging To ensure simultaneous correctness of a set of inferences as to guarantee a correct overall decision To summarize, a family could best be defined by the potential selective inference that is being faced: A family is the smallest set of items of inference in an analysis, interchangeable about their meaning for the goal of research, from which selection of results for action, presentation or highlighting could be made (Yoav Benjamini).[citation needed] Classification of multiple hypothesis tests[edit] Main article: Classification of multiple hypothesis tests The following table defines various errors committed when testing multiple null hypotheses. Suppose we have a number m of multiple null hypotheses, denoted by: H1,H2,...,Hm. Using a statistical test, we reject the null hypothesis if the test is declared significant. We do not reject the null hypothesis if the test is non-significant. Sum

E.g. to decide whether or not to reject the following null hypothesis H0: μ1 = μ2 = μ3 We can use the following three separate null hypotheses: H0: μ1 = μ2 H0: μ2 = μ3 H0: μ1 = μ3 If any of these null hypotheses is rejected then the original null hypothesis is rejected. Note however that if you set α = .05 for each of the three sub-analyses then the overall alpha value is .14 since 1 – (1 – α)3 = 1 – (1 – .05)3 = 0.142525 (see Example 6 of Basic Probability Concepts). This means that the probability of rejecting the null hypothesis even when it is true (type I error) is 14.2525%. For k groups, you would need to run m = COMBIN(k, 2) such tests and so the resulting overall alpha would be 1 – (1 – α)m, a value which would get progressively higher as the number of samples increases. For example, if k = 6, then m = 15 and the probability of finding at least one significant t-test, purely by chance, even w
or more absolutely true null hypotheses in a family of several absolutely true null hypotheses. Rejecting an absolutely true null hypothesis is known as a "Type http://core.ecu.edu/psyc/wuenschk/docs30/FamilywiseAlpha.htm One Error." It is important to keep in mind that one cannot make a Type I error unless one tests an absolutely true null hypothesis. Accordingly, if absolutely true null hypotheses are unlikely to be encountered, then the unconditional probability of making a Type I error will be quite small. Psychologists and some others act as if they think they will burn error rate in hell for an eternity if they ever make even a single Type I error -- that is, if they ever reject a null hypothesis when, in fact, that hypothesis is absolutely true. I and many others are of the opinion that the unconditional probability of making a Type I error is close to zero, since it is highly unlikely that one wise error rate will ever test a null hypothesis that is absolutely true. Why worry so much about making an error that is almost impossible to make? There exists a variety of techniques for capping familywise alpha at some value, usually .05. Why .05? Maybe .05 is, sometimes, a reasonable criterion for statistical significance when making a single comparison, but is it really reasonable to cap familywise alpha at .05? Even if it is, what reasonably constitutes the family for which one should cap familywise alpha at .05? Is it the family of hypotheses that I am testing for this particular outcome variable in this particular research project? I am testing for all comparisons make in this particular research project? I am testing this month, this year, or during my lifetime? All psychologists are testing this month, this year, or whenever? Many times I have asked this question about what reasonably constitutes a family of comparisons for which alpha should be capped at .05. I have never been satisfied with any answer I have received.
