Hypothesis testing with e-values

A Ramdas, R Wang - arxiv preprint arxiv:2410.23614, 2024 - arxiv.org
This book is written to offer a humble, but unified, treatment of e-values in hypothesis testing.
The book is organized into three parts: Fundamental Concepts, Core Ideas, and Advanced …

Conformalized Multiple Testing after Data-dependent Selection

X Wang, Y Huo, L Peng, C Zou - Advances in Neural …, 2025 - proceedings.neurips.cc
The task of distinguishing individuals of interest from a vast pool of candidates using
predictive models has garnered significant attention in recent years. This task can be framed …

Compound e-values and Empirical Bayes

N Ignatiadis, R Wang, A Ramdas - arxiv preprint arxiv:2409.19812, 2024 - arxiv.org
We explicitly define the notion of (exact or approximate) compound e-values which have
been implicitly presented and extensively used in the recent multiple testing literature. We …

Improved thresholds for e-values

C Blier-Wong, R Wang - arxiv preprint arxiv:2408.11307, 2024 - arxiv.org
The rejection threshold used for e-values and e-processes is by default set to $1/\alpha $ for
a guaranteed type-I error control at $\alpha $, based on Markov's and Ville's inequalities …

False Discovery Control in Multiple Testing: A Brief Overview of Theories and Methodologies

J He, B Gang, L Fu - arxiv preprint arxiv:2411.10647, 2024 - arxiv.org
As the volume and complexity of data continue to expand across various scientific
disciplines, the need for robust methods to account for the multiplicity of comparisons has …

The only admissible way of merging e-values

R Wang - arxiv preprint arxiv:2409.19888, 2024 - arxiv.org
We prove that the only admissible way of merging e-values is to use a weighted arithmetic
average. This result completes the picture of merging methods for e-values, and generalizes …

Selection from Hierarchical Data with Conformal e-values

Y Lee, Z Ren - arxiv preprint arxiv:2501.02514, 2025 - arxiv.org
Distribution-free predictive inference beyond the construction of prediction sets has gained a
lot of interest in recent applications. One such application is the selection task, where the …

Full-conformal novelty detection: A powerful and non-random approach

J Lee, I Popov, Z Ren - arxiv preprint arxiv:2501.02703, 2025 - arxiv.org
We introduce a powerful and non-random methodology for novelty detection, offering
distribution-free false discovery rate (FDR) control guarantees. Building on the full-conformal …

A flexible approach: variable selection procedures with multilayer FDR control via e-values

C Yu, R Ming, M **ao, Z Wang - arxiv preprint arxiv:2409.17039, 2024 - arxiv.org
Consider a scenario where a large number of explanatory features targeting a response
variable are analyzed, such that these features are partitioned into different groups …
