The present chapter is concerned with joint step-down multiple testing procedures (MTP) for controlling the family-wise error rate (FWER), i.e., the probability of at least one Type I error. We follow the general multiple testing framework described in Chapters 1 and 2 and refer the reader to Section 1.2 for basic definitions and notation.
