Multiple hypothesis testing is a central topic in statistics, but despite abundant work on the false discovery rate (FDR) and the corresponding Type-II error concept known as the false non-discovery rate (FNR), a fine-grained understanding of the fundamental limits of multiple testing has not been developed. Our main contribution is to derive a precise non-asymptotic tradeoff between FNR and FDR for a variant of the generalized Gaussian sequence model. Our analysis is flexible enough to permit analyses of settings where the problem parameters vary with the number of hypotheses $n$, including various sparse and dense regimes (with $o(n)$ and $\mathcal{O}(n)$ signals). Moreover, we prove that the Benjamini-Hochberg algorithm as well as the Barber-Cand\`{e}s algorithm are both rate-optimal up to constants across these regimes. 查看全文>>
