AB - multproc carries out multiple-test procedures, taking as input a list of p-valuesand an uncorrected critical p-value, and calculating a corrected overall critical pvaluefor rejection of null hypotheses. These procedures define a conÞdence regionfor a set-valued parameter, namely the set of null hypotheses that are true. Theyaim to control either the family-wise error rate (FWER) or the false discoveryrate (FDR) at a level no greater than the uncorrected critical p-value. smileplotcalls multproc and then creates a smile plot, with data points corresponding toestimated parameters, the p-values (on a reverse log scale) on the y-axis, and theparameter estimates (or another variable) on the x-axis. There are y-axis referencelines at the uncorrected and corrected overall critical p-values. The reference linefor the corrected overall critical p-value, known as the parapet line, is an informalÒupper confidence limitÓ for the set of null hypotheses that are true and defines aboundary between data mining and data dredging. A smile plot summarizes a setof multiple analyses just as a Cochrane forest plot summarizes a meta-analysis. Copyright 2003 by Stata Corporation.
