If we use a standard p-valuecut-off of , we d expect 500 genes to be deemed significant by chance. In general, if we perform m hypothesis tests, what is theprobability of at least 1 false positive?
• Positive false discovery rate (pFDR): the rate that discoveries are false pFDR = E(V/R | R > 0) Digression: p-values •Implicit in all multiple testing procedures is the assumption that the distribution of p-values is
