Simultaneous Tests of Many Hypotheses in Exploratory Research
Abstract
Many traditional statistical approaches to data analysis assume a relatively simple situation in which the investigator is testing a single hypothesis. Most research in psychiatry, on the other hand, is exploratory in nature and involves testing many hypotheses. Exploratory research presents special problems in data analysis, which are discussed in this overview. Special statistical approaches that are available to reduce error risk, such as the Bonferroni inequality, are described. The importance of selecting confidence levels appropriate to a particularly investigation, rather than arbitrary use of the .05 level, is also discussed.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
