C is an R × R correlation matrix that accounts for correlations among measurements in the R conditions. To estimate this matrix, we exploit the fact that C is the correlation matrix of the Z scores under the null (bj = 0). Specifically, we estimate C from the empirical correlation matrix of the Z scores for the effects j that are most consistent with the null, C=1|N|∑j∈NzjzjT,
