The FDR is the expected proportion of false positives among all discoveries (rejected null hypotheses); for example, if the null hypotheses of 1000 hypothesis tests were experimentally rejected, and a maximum FDR level (q-value) for these tests was 0.10, then 100 of these rejections would be expected to be false positives.

Famous quotes containing the word properties:
“The reason why men enter into society, is the preservation of their property; and the end why they choose and authorize a legislative, is, that there may be laws made, and rules set, as guards and fences to the properties of all the members of the society: to limit the power, and moderate the dominion, of every part and member of the society.”
—John Locke (1632–1704)
“A drop of water has the properties of the sea, but cannot exhibit a storm. There is beauty of a concert, as well as of a flute; strength of a host, as well as of a hero.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
