It is generally true that the more hypothesis tests you perform, the greater the probability that one of those tests is statistically significant by chance, the so-called multiple testing problem. At the Statistical Consulting Centre, we regularly receive enquiries regarding this issue. Reviewers often ask for adjustment for multiple comparisons. But how important is it? What can you do about it?

Dr Sandy Clarke-Errey wrote her PhD on the performance of multiple hypothesis testing procedures in the presence of dependence in the high dimensional setting. She has an ongoing theoretical interest in the methods used, but a much stronger practical interest in helping people understand the issues surrounding their use and interpretation.

This seminar will outline some principles to consider, along with practical advice.

Please join us for a concert featuring the young students that took part in the Melbourne Young Chamber Music Academy in 2026. The Melbourne Conservatorium of Music is offering an Chamber Music program for Piano and String students. This is a supplementary extra-curricular course for students aged 12 - 18 to create a ‘wider music community’, which maximises the learning growth of Chamber music skills together within an inclusive, respectful, and creative environment that nurtures a passion for chamber music and knowledge, encouraging the upcoming generation of young talented musicians to collaborate and strive for excellence together.
