Valid inference drawn from analysis of experimental results needs scientific grounds, whereas conclusions based on statistical significance tests or hypothesis testing may be problematic, especially when dealing with a multiplicity of tested hypotheses, as in experiments performed on bio-molecules.

Abstract
Valid inference drawn from analysis of experimental results needs scientific grounds, whereas conclusions based on statistical significance tests or hypothesis testing may be problematic, especially when dealing with a multiplicity of tested hypotheses, as in experiments performed on bio-molecules. The problem of false discovery rate is focused in the present paper, aiming at eliciting application of sound criteria for rejection/acceptance of hypotheses and related methods of uncertainty characterisation.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
