Normal Deviate’s blog on false discovery rates

Posted on December 2, 2012 by Mayo

There is an interesting guest post by Ryan Tibshirani on the Normal Deviate’s blog comparing the False Discovery Rates (FDR)* associated with different methods of screening for potentially interesting genes (based on p-value assessments). I want to come to this at some point.

*FDR = E(number of null genes called significant/number of genes called significant)
