Abstract

Testing hypotheses regarding how individual survey respondents form their expectations is susceptible to the multiple testing problem. The probability of falsely rejecting the null hypothesis for one or more respondents will exceed the nominal single-hypothesis significance level. The Bonferroni correction and related approaches control the family-wise error rate, but are conservative and result in low power when the null hypotheses are false.
