Bonferroni correction
In statistics, the Bonferroni correction is one of several methods used to counteract the problem of multiple comparisons.
Background.
The Bonferroni correction is named after Italian mathematician Carlo Emilio Bonferroni for its use of Bonferroni inequalities. Its development is often credited to Olive Jean Dunn, who described the procedure's application to confidence intervals.
