发现贝氏-霍奇伯格方法在相关高斯检验中可能失控,挑战了二十年共识。

The Benjamini--Hochberg Procedure Can Fail to Control the FDR for Correlated Two-Sided Gaussian Tests

  • 构建相关因子模型,证明在α=0.01时FDR会超过0.0104
  • 理论证明在大量假设下FDR突破名义水平,且蒙特卡洛实验验证
  • 由AI辅助推导,证实经典FDR控制方法在特定场景失效

我们证明,贝氏-霍奇伯格程序在相关双侧高斯p值情况下,无法在名义水平α=0.01下控制假发现率(FDR)。通过构造一个因子模型,利用区间算术严格证明:当假设数量足够大时,FDR > 0.0104。这一结果反驳了被广泛接受长达二十年的猜想。蒙特卡洛实验结果与理论一致。该证明由GPT-5.6 Pro生成,并经作者仔细核查。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

We show that the Benjamini--Hochberg procedure can fail to control the false discovery rate (FDR) at its nominal level for correlated two-sided Gaussian $p$-values. We construct a factor model for which, at level $α=0.01$, a rigorous interval-arithmetic certificate proves $FDR>0.0104$ for all sufficiently large numbers of hypotheses. This disproves a conjecture widely believed to be true for twenty years. Monte Carlo experiments are consistent with the theoretical result. The proof was obtained by GPT-5.6 Pro and carefully checked by the author.
