New statistical framework aggregates evidence under complex dependence

Researchers have developed a new framework for aggregating statistical evidence under unknown and complex dependence structures, utilizing group-invariance principles. This method treats transformed datasets as exchangeable units, allowing for the aggregation of evidence across different transformations. The framework includes a finite-sample theory for power and adaptivity, with extensions for sequential and data-dependent aggregation that maintain validity. It offers improvements over deterministic calibrations like Bonferroni correction by adapting to unknown dependence, and includes a sequential alpha-spending version for early rejection and a two-batch extension for learned aggregation rules.
