Valid online inference is an important problem in contemporary multiple testing research,to which various solutions have been proposed recently. It is well-known that these existing methods can suffer from a significant loss of power if the null p-values are conservative. In this work, we extend the previously introduced methodology to obtain more powerful procedures for the case of super-uniformly distributed p-values. These types of p-values arise in important settings, e.g. when discrete hypothesis tests are performed or when the p-values are weighted. To this end, we introduce the method of super-uniformity reward (SUR) that incorporates information about the individual null cumulative distribution functions. Our approach yields several new 'rewarded' procedures that offer uniform power improvements over known procedures and come with mathematical guarantees for controlling online error criteria based either on the family-wise error rate (FWER) or the marginal false discovery rate (mFDR). We illustrate the benefit of super-uniform rewarding in real-data analyses and simulation studies. While discrete tests serve as our leading example, we also show how our method can be applied to weighted p-values.
