The 6th International Conference on Multiple Comparison Procedures, Tokyo, Japan, 2009


    The International Conference on Multiple Comparison Procedures will be held on March 24-27, 2009 at Morito Academy Hall of Tokyo University of Science. The main goal of the conference is to promote research and applications of multiple comparison procedures and to exchange information on recent research directions in this area. The application areas of multiple comparison procedures are a rich and important source of cross-disciplinary statistical research. The conference will cover many current topics as adaptive and sequential designs, bioinformatics, clinical trials, genomics, closed testing and partitioning principle, false discovery rate, multiple endpoints and so on. An important role of the conference will be to provide a forum for technical interactions among industry practitioners, research scientists from subject matter area and statisticians. A website is open at
