)

Public Shared Function GetBonferroniEffectiveSignificanceLevel ( 
	significanceLevel As Double,
	numberOfTests As Integer
) As Double

public:
static double GetBonferroniEffectiveSignificanceLevel(
	double significanceLevel, 
	int numberOfTests
)

static member GetBonferroniEffectiveSignificanceLevel : 
        significanceLevel : float * 
        numberOfTests : int -> float 

Parameters

significanceLevel  Double

The original significance level.

numberOfTests  Int32

The number of hypothesis tests.

Return Value

This method divides the original significance level by the number of tests to control the family-wise error rate. It is valid when tests are independent or positively correlated. Be cautious as it may be overly conservative for large numbers of tests.
