Abstract

We have found a mistake in the proof Theorem 6 in our published paper “Optimal False Discovery Rate Control for Dependent Data” (Statistics and Its Interface, Vol. 4, No. 1, pp. 417–430). We apologize to the readers and thank Professor Jens Ledet Jensen at Aarhus University for his question which led to identification of this mistake. We provide here a corrected proof of Theorem 6 with further clarifications of the assumptions.
