Yosef Hochberg (Hebrew: יוסף הוכברג; 1945 – December 3, 2013)[1] was an Israeli statistician and professor of statistics at Tel Aviv University. He is best known for the development (with Yoav Benjamini) of the false discovery rate (FDR) criterion and the Benjamini–Hochberg (BH) procedure for controlling the FDR rate, as well as Hochberg's step-up procedure for controlling the family-wise error rate.
Hochberg earned his PhD at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1974.[2][3] Pranab K. Sen was his doctoral advisor.
While on leave from Tel Aviv University, he visited the Statistics and Operations Research Department at New York University.[4]
