Control of directional errors with step-up multiple tests

Statistics & Probability Letters, 1997, vol. 31, issue 3, 239-242

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