Failure to account for the effects of multiple comparisons would result in an abundance of false positive results. The Bonferroni correction and Holm's step-down procedure are overly conservative, whereas the permutation test is time-consuming and is restricted to simple problems.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Results: We developed an efficient Monte Carlo approach to approximating the joint distribution of the test statistics along the genome. We then used the Monte Carlo distribution to evaluate the commonly used criteria for error control, such as familywise error rates and positive false discovery rates. This approach is applicable to any data structures and test statistics. Applications to simulated and real data demonstrate that the proposed approach provides accurate error control, and can be substantially more powerful than the Bonferroni and Holm methods, especially when the test statistics are highly correlated.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Contact: \u00a0lin@bios.unc.edu<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/bioinformatics\/bti053","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2004,9,29]],"date-time":"2004-09-29T01:27:46Z","timestamp":1096421266000},"page":"781-787","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":141,"title":["An efficient Monte Carlo approach to assessing statistical significance in genomic studies"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"21","author":[{"given":"D.
