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.

“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.”
