Resampling 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 family wise error rate definition collection 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-si

Family Wise Error Rate Correction
reading for all fMRI researchers. Anders Eklund, Tom Nichols, and Hans family wise error calculator Knutsson applied task fMRI analyses to a large number of resting fMRI datasets, in order to familywise error rate anova identify the empirical corrected “familywise” Type I error rates observed under the null hypothesis for both voxel-wise and cluster-wise inference. What they found is shocking: While voxel-wise https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Family-wise_error_rate error rates were valid, nearly all cluster-based parametric methods (except for FSL’s FLAME 1) have greatly inflated familywise Type I error rates. This inflation was worst for analyses using lower cluster-forming thresholds (e.g. p=0.01) compared to higher thresholds, but even with higher thresholds there was serious inflation. This should be a sobering wake-up call http://reproducibility.stanford.edu/big-problems-for-common-fmri-thresholding-methods/ for fMRI researchers, as it suggests that the methods used in a large number of previous publications suffer from exceedingly high false positive rates (sometimes greater than 50%). Figure 1 from Eklund et al., showing substantial inflation of familywise error rates for most common cluster-based thresholding methods. They also examined the commonly used heuristic correction (what they call “ad-hoc cluster inference”) of p=0.001 and a cluster extent threshold of 80 mm^3. This method showed a shockingly high rate of false positives, up to 90% familywise error in some cases. Hopefully this paper will serve as the deathknell for such heuristic corrections. Figure 7 from Eklund et al., showing massive inflation of familywise Type I error rate using ad-hoc clustering inference. Another set of serious concerns were raised about the simulation-based methods implemented in AFNI’s 3DclustSim tool: Firstly, AFNI estimates the spatial group smoothness differently compared to SPM and FSL. AFNI averages smoothness estimates from the first level analysis, whe

Although these voxel-by-voxel tests increase the precision of the conclusions in terms of clusters, they also lead to the increase of the chance that at least one of them is wrong. Therefore a family of statistical tests suffer one serious problem: the probability --traditionally called alpha - of at least one error (type I, wise error or false positive) is greater than that of an error on an individual test. To control the severity of this problem of alpha escalation, some measure of multiple testing correction (similar to multiple comparisons correction in the traditional sense) is desirable during group analysis.There are three occurrences of multiple comparisons in FMRI analysis: individual subject analysis, group analysis, and conjunction analysis. Compared to the number of EPI voxels (in the order family wise error of 104 inside the brain out of total ~105 voxels), conjunction analysis with a few contrasts is much less a severe problem than the case for individual subject and group analysis, and can be simply dealt with Bonferroni correction if the researcher is willing to.If an analysis fails to survive for correction, a lot of factors could contribute to the failure since the analysis is such a long chain of steps, but one possibility is the power of the analysis. If statistical power is an issue, then you might consider optimizing the experiment design or increasing the number of subjects.Familywise approachFamilywise approach fixes alpha for the whole family (brain) of tests. For example in a brain with 25,000 voxels, a fixed type I error of 0.05 would lead to false detection of 1,250 active voxels simply by chance. By significantly lowering individual type I error, we could achieve the control of total type I error. This is usually done with the consideration of cluster size in the brain, in which case a corrected type I error of p means that among 100 such brain activation maps on average there would have 100*p% of them having false detection. However the downside is that the cost of the approach is the loss of powe
