Abstract
AbstractStatistical testing of more than one hypothesis has the potential to increase the risk of wrongly concluding that the result for a given end point is statistically significant (false discovery). This review is designed to acquaint nonstatisticians with traditional approaches for controlling type I error and with the seemingly complex procedure known as graphical testing.
