Abstract

Bagging and subagging procedures are put forth with thepurpose of improving the discovery power in the context of large-scale simultaneous hypothesis testing. Bagging and subagging significantly improvediscovery power at the cost of a small increase in false discoveryrate with 'maximum contrast' subagging having an edge over bagging,i.e., yielding similar power but significantly smaller false discovery rates.The proposed procedures are implemented in a situation involving a wellknown dataset on gene expressions related to prostate cancer.
