Abstract

Two known results in multiple testing, one relating to the directional error control of augmented step-down procedure proved by Shaffer (1980) and the other on the monotonicity of the critical values of step-up procedure proved by Dalal and Mallows (1992), are revisited and given alternative proofs in this article.

Primary Subjects: 62F03
Keywords: type III errors; augmented step-down procedure; TP$_2$ distributions; step-up-step-down procedure; monotonicity of critical values
