Understanding the Bonferroni Method and Its Application in Hypothesis Testing The Bonferroni method is a statistical technique used to control the family-wise error rate (FWER) when conducting multiple hypothesis tests. It is commonly applied in fields such as medicine, economics, and social sciences to ensure that the probability of making at least one Type I error remains below a predetermined threshold. Background When testing a set of hypotheses, there is always a risk of Type I errors.
