The present article proposes general single-step multiple testing procedures for controlling Type I error rates defined as arbitrary parameters of the distribution of the number of Type I errors, such as the generalized family-wise error rate. A key feature of our approach is the test statistics null distribution (rather than data generating null distribution) used to derive cut-offs (i.e., rejection regions) for these test statistics and the resulting adjusted p-values.  For general null hypotheses, corresponding to submodels for the data generating distribution,  we identify an asymptotic domination condition for a null distribution under which single-step common-quantile and common-cut-off procedures asymptotically control the Type I error rate, for arbitrary data generating distributions, without the need for conditions such as subset pivotality. Inspired by this general characterization of a null distribution, we then propose as an explicit null distribution the asymptotic distribution of the vector of null value shifted and scaled test statistics. In the special case of family-wise error rate (FWER) control, our  method yields the single-step minP and maxT procedures, based on minima of unadjusted p-values and maxima of test statistics, respectively, with the important distinction in the choice of null distribution. Single-step procedures based on consistent estimators of the null distribution are shown to also provide asymptotic control of the Type I error rate. A general bootstrap algorithm is supplied to conveniently obtain consistent estimators of the null distribution. The special cases of t- and F-statistics are discussed in detail. The companion articles focus on step-down multiple testing procedures for control of the FWER (van der Laan et al., 2004b) and on augmentations of FWER-controlling methods to control error rates such as tail probabilities for the number of false positives and for the proportion of false positives among the rejected hypotheses (van der Laan et al., 2004a). The proposed bootstrap multiple testing procedures are evaluated by a simulation study and applied to genomic data in the fourth article of the series (Pollard et al., 2004).
