Abstract:
SDMinP is an easy-to-use program for fast calculation of empirical and adjusted P-values for correlated and uncorrelated hypotheses in multiple testing experiments. It is based on the Free Step-Down Resampling Method for controlling the family wise error rate, and implements a variation of an efficient algorithm, which reduces the originally required re-sampling effort considerably and makes the method computationally feasible. The program is independent of the underlying test statistic and works with provided observed and permutation test statistics.

Types of Errors: Detection and Minimization
Absolute error in a measurement is the numerical difference from the true or central value. Relative error is the ratio between absolute error and the true or central value, expressed as a percentage.
Errors can be classified by source, magnitude, and sign. There are three types of errors: systematic, random, and gross.

Accuracy and Errors in Hypothesis Testing
In hypothesis testing, the probability of making a Type I error, denoted as α, is commonly set at 0.05. This significance level indicates a 5% chance...
