On weighted parametric tests
  We describe a general framework for weighted parametric multiple test procedures based on the closure principle. We utilize general weighting strategies that can reflect complex study objectives and include many procedures in the literature as special cases. The proposed weighted parametric tests bridge the gap between rejection rules using either adjusted significance levels or adjusted $p$-values. This connection is possible by allowing intersection hypotheses to be tested at level smaller than $\alpha$, which may be needed for certain study considerations. For such cases we introduce a subclass of exact $\alpha$-level parametric tests which satisfy the consonance property. When only subsets of test statistics are correlated, a new procedure is proposed to fully utilize the parametric assumptions within each subset. We illustrate the proposed weighted parametric tests using a clinical trial example.
