Control of directional errors with step-up multiple tests
It is shown in Shaffer (1980) that step-down multiple tests designed to control Type I errors at rate α actually control Type I and III errors jointly at rate α under certain distributional assumptions. In this note it is shown that step-up multiple tests have a similar property under the same distributional assumptions.

Abstract

It is shown in Shaffer (1980) that step-down multiple tests designed to control Type I errors at rate α actually control Type I and III errors jointly at rate α under certain distributional assumptions. In this note it is shown that step-up multiple tests have a similar property under the same distributional assumptions.
