Title: Stepup and stepdown multiple hypotheses testing for the correlated case

Abstract: Current FDR methods maintain the error level exactly at alpha when the test statistics are independent. The corresponding procedures are generalized to the correlated case. Numerical methods are proposed which compute adjusted p-values and critical values for normal theory procedures so that the correlations of the statistics are accounted for.
