The replication of scientific results is essential for their acceptance by the scientific community. In order to judge whether a scientific result has been replicated in an independent study, appropriate scientific methods are needed. Within this project, such methods are developed by formalizing the replication as a statistical hypothesis which has to be tested with appropriate procedures. In particular, simultaneous replicability analyses for many endpoints or markers, respectively, require specialized multiple test procedures. Their development and their mathematical analysis constitute the main contents and goals of the project.
