CARS: Covariate Assisted Ranking and Screening for Large-Scale Two-Sample Inference
T. Tony Cai, Wenguang Sun, and Weinan Wang
The proposed CARS procedure is shown to be asymptotic valid and optimal for false discovery rate (FDR) control. The procedure is implemented in the R-package CARS. Numerical results confirm the effectiveness of CARS in FDR control and show that it achieves substantial power gain over existing methods. CARS is also illustrated through an application to the analysis of satellite imaging data set for supernova detection.
