Avoiding selection bias in gravitational wave astronomy
New Journal of Physics, 2013 When searching for gravitational waves in the data from ground-based gravitational wave detectors, it is common to use a detection threshold to reduce the number of background events which are unlikely to be the signals of interest.

Selective Inference for Testing Trees and Edges in Phylogenetics
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Selective inference is considered for testing trees and edges in phylogenetic tree selection from molecular sequences. This improves the previously proposed approximately unbiased test by adjusting the selection bias when testing many trees and edges at ...
