The Center for Statistics in Oldenburg and Bremen (ZeSOB) organized its first

Methods Week in Statistics on the topic: “Simultaneous statistical inference and multiple testing”

from September 26th to 29th, 2016, at the University of Bremen, Building SFG, Lecture Hall 0140,

The course was targeted to practitioners and application-oriented statisticians. After an introduction to the problem of multiple testing, we presented a variety of simultaneous inference methods and multiple test procedures, together with their software implementations and their methodological background. Focus was on applications and on the appropriate choice of methods for concrete model classes and problems.

Lecturers:
Werner Brannath, University of Bremen
Thorsten Dickhaus, University of Bremen
Frank Schaarschmidt, Leibniz University of Hannover
