When correcting for multiple comparisons, do you correct all p-values or only significant ones?

Mensen's commment is incorrect. Whether controlling FWER or merely FDR, your corrections must account for ALL tests conducted. If you only input the p-values that are < .05, an FDR-controlling procedu …

Adjust the p-values or not?

You have multiple treatment groups that are each compared to the control group, but not compared to each other. There's a method called the Dunnett procedure designed specifically for controlling the …

What's wrong with Bonferroni adjustments?

Thomas Perneger is not a statistician and his paper is full of mistakes. So I wouldn't take it too seriously. It's actually been heavily criticized by others. For example, Aickin said Perneger's paper …

Is Bonferroni correction too anti-conservative/liberal for some dependent hypotheses?

Bonferroni can't be liberal, regardless of dependence, if your p-values are computed correctly. Let A be the event of Type I error in one test and let B be the event of Type I error in another test. …

What is the intuition for dependence assumption in Benjamini and Hochberg (1995)?

Gung is incorrect that Dunn-Sidak should be used under independence and Bonferroni must be used under dependence. In fact, Dunn-Sidak controls the FWER not only under independence, but also under posi …

Is there a consensus on adjusting alpha for multiple contrasts if the main effect is signifi...
