TLDR
In this article, a very useful review of comparing several parametric and nonparametric tests in the two-sample problem is provided. But the review is limited to two-dimensional data.
Abstract
We would like to thank Professor Lehmann for providing a very useful review of comparing several parametric and nonparametric tests in the two-sample problem. Such a review is timely, as many class...

Multivariate and multiple permutation tests

TL;DR: In this paper, the use of permutation tests for comparing multivariate parameters from two populations is considered, and the authors provide valid procedures in the sense that even when the assumption of identical distributions fails, one can establish the asymptotic validity of permutations in general while retaining the exactness property when all the observations are i.i.d.

Controlling the false discovery rate: a practical and powerful approach to multiple testing

TL;DR: In this paper, a different approach to problems of multiple significance testing is presented, which calls for controlling the expected proportion of falsely rejected hypotheses -the false discovery rate, which is equivalent to the FWER when all hypotheses are true but is smaller otherwise.

Significance analysis of microarrays applied to the ionizing radiation response

TL;DR: A method that assigns a score to each gene on the basis of change in gene expression relative to the standard deviation of repeated measurements is described, suggesting that this repair pathway for UV-damaged DNA might play a previously unrecognized role in repairing DNA damaged by ionizing radiation.

A direct approach to false discovery rates

TL;DR: The calculation of the q‐value is discussed, the pFDR analogue of the p‐value, which eliminates the need to set the error rate beforehand as is traditionally done, and can yield an increase of over eight times in power compared with the Benjamini–Hochberg FDR method.
