We deal with this problem from a Bayesian decision theory perspective. We propose a decision criterion based on an estimation of the number of false null hypotheses (FNH), taking as an error measure the proportion of the posterior expected number of false positives with respect to the estimated number of true null hypotheses. The methodology is applied to a Gaussian model when testing bilateral hypotheses. The procedure is illustrated with both simulated and real data examples and the results are compared to those obtained by the Bayes rule when an additive loss function is considered for each joint action and the generalized loss 0-1 function for each individual action. Our procedure significantly reduced the percentage of false negatives whereas the percentage of false positives remains at an acceptable level.journal articlehttps//doi.org/10.1515/sagmb-2012-0076http://www.degruyter.com/view/j/sagmb.2014.13.issue-1/sagmb-2012-0076/sagmb-2012-0076.xmlmetadata only access519.2Bayes ruleBayesian decisionMultiple hypothesisPosterior expected lossFalse positivesFalse negativesEstadística matemática (Matemáticas)1209 Estadística
