PCER stands for per comparison error rate, which describes the probability of a result in the absence of any formal multiple hypothesis testing correction.[1] Typically, when considering a result under many hypotheses, some tests will give false positives; many statisticians make use of Bonferroni correction, false discovery rate, and other methods to determine the odds of a negative result appearing to be positive.
