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?
False Discovery Rate m 0 m-m 0 m V S R Called Significant U T m - R Not Called Significant True True Total Null Alternative V = # Type I errors [false positives] •False discovery rate (FDR) is designed to control the proportion of false positives among the set of rejected hypotheses (R)
