Научный вклад.
В статье 1995 года Йоав Беньямини и Йозеф Хохберг предложили вместо контроля над групповой вероятностью ошибки первого рода выполнять контроль над ожидаемой долей ложных отклонений[англ.] среди всех отклоненных гипотез[3]. Его работа 1995 года «Контроль доли ложных отклонений: практический и эффективный подход к многократному тестированию» в 2005 году вошла в топ-25 самых цитируемых по статистике.
