|---|---|---|---|
| Bonferroni | BH | WBH | |

The Bonferroni correction procedure controls the family-wise error rate at 0.05, whereas both BH and WBH procedures control the false discovery rate at 0.05. Abbreviations are as follows: BH, Benjamini and Hochberg procedure; WBH, weighted Benjamini and Hochberg procedure.
