Abstract: Multiple testing corrections (MTC) are used to reduce type I error in a group of two or more tests, or when two or more tests address a common null hypothesis. The MTC methods available can be divided into two different families according to the control of type I error: (i) the family-wise error rate; (ii) the false discovery. Four MTC methods are investigated here, highlighting advantages and disadvantages in complex networks. We use a binarized precipitation network as illustrative case study. False discovery rate corrections seem to be a better option in complex network analyses.
