Multiple Testing Correction refers to re-calculating probabilities obtained from a statistical test which was repeated multiple times. Different ways of recalculating are associated with names of Bonferroni, Holm, Westfall and Young, Benjamini and Hochberg. The relevant terms are also Family-wise error rate and False discovery rate.

A large part of this topic is covered in Multiple comparisons.
