The Two Groups Model Revisits, Insights about the Benjamini Hochberg Rule, The Bayes Oracle and Asymptotic optimality of the BH rule

Abstract

I will go over the two formulations for microarrays and provide more insight on the BH test in the first 20 minutes. In the rest of the talk I will explain and calculate the Bayes Oracle, state one optimality theorem carefully, and sketch the main steps in the proof. The discussion of Multiple Tests will continue on September 16. The speaker is Professor Malgorzata Bogdan, our Visiting Professor this fall. That would be the last talk on Multiple Tests.
