This document summarizes a paper titled "A Bandit Approach to Multiple Testing with False Discovery Control" by Jamieson and Jain from NIPS 2018. It introduces the problem of multiple hypothesis testing with the goals of controlling false discovery rate (FDR) and family-wise error rate (FWER) while maximizing true positive rate (TPR) and family-wise probability of detection (FWPD). It describes using an adaptive sampling strategy based on multi-armed bandits to achieve these goals with near-optimal sample complexity.
