Bonferroni Correction

The Bonferroni correction is a multiple-comparison correction used when several independent StatisticalTests are being performed simultaneously (since while a given Alpha Value may be appropriatefor each individual comparison, it is not for the set of all comparisons). In order to avoid a lot of spurious positives,the Alpha Value needs to be lowered to account for the number of comparisons being performed.

The simplest and most conservative approach is the Bonferroni correction, which sets the Alpha Value for the entire set of comparisons equal to by taking the Alpha Value for each comparison equal to .Explicitly, given tests for hypotheses () under the assumption that all hypotheses arefalse, and if the individual test critical values are , then the experiment-wide critical value is . In equation form, if

for

, then

which follows from Bonferroni's Inequality.

Another correction instead uses . While this choice is applicable for two-sided hypotheses, multivariatenormal statistics, and positive orthant dependent statistics, it is not, in general, correct (Shaffer 1995).
