Multiple Statistics: Marking Significance

Eric Bax, Arundhyoti Sarkar, Natalie Bax

Abstract: Big data is often used to generate reports consisting of computed statistics. When the statistics are displayed, they may be marked for significance based on p-values. For multiple statistics, we propose a system to mark for significance adjusted for the number of statistics, using a Bonferroni correction in general, and a slightly milder correction for independent statistics.
