Re: [UAI] Try this quiz on the puzzling Bonferroni correction

Dear David, Thanks for the reply. Question 5 does not have a yes or no answer. I find it quite odd that you say yes to 4 and no to 2. Can you explain? If you were a classic frequentist, you'd say no to both. I would say yes to 2 and no to 4. By the way, I just submitted another post with my

Oops, I meant 1,000,000 for question 5. I'm not a statistician. I reasoned this way: If I somehow explore lots of hypotheses I need to correct for that, otherwise I may overfit. In 2, I only checked one randomly chosen hypothesis and stopped exploring after that. In 4 and 5, I've in some

Hi Rich, Since no other helping hand seems in sight, let me jump in: I have 1,000,000 hypotheses that are not mutually exclusive. 1. I test them all. Do I apply the Bonferroni correction? 2. I plan to test them all, but I run out of resources after testing only one of them. Do I apply the
