Our use of
a false discovery rate of 0.2 as a threshold for calling differential methylation implies that we expect at most 20 % of our calls to be erroneous.
It is clear, however, that evidence of an excess of amino acid substitutions (at least from site - by - site tests) is no longer a sufficiently convincing demonstration of selection, not only because a high ratio could result from selection on synonymous mutations rather than positive selection on proteins [5], but also because there is potentially a high
false discovery rate of selected sites [6].
The false discovery rate of the AMT tag analysis was estimated using an 11 - Da shift strategy as previously described [27].
Genes were considered to be differentially expressed if they had an adjusted p - value of 0.05 or less (equivalent to
a false discovery rate of 5 %).

For an actual estimate
of how likely a result is to be true or
false, said Ioannidis, researchers should instead use
false -
discovery rates or Bayes factor calculations.
Each
of these metabolites was found to have
false discovery rates (FDRs)
of less than 10 % (SI Appendix, Table S1 A and B).
We used a
false discovery rate rather than standard significance measures to avoid an inflated
false - positive
rate as a consequence
of the large number
of hypothesis tests (42).
We discuss common correction schemes such as Bonferroni, Holm, Benjamini & Hochberg and Storey's q and show how they impact the
false positive
rate (FPR),
false discovery rate (FDR) and power
of a batch
of tests.
Under basal growth conditions, 1235 genes were essential for cell fitness at a
false -
discovery rate of 5...
Among the 19,579 genes that are expressed in either tissue, 63.14 % (12,363) are differentially expressed with a
false discovery rate (FDR)
of less than 5 %.
False - discovery rate (FDR) was used to correct for multiple testing and to estimate the number of false positives
False -

Results: We validate our approach using data with known copy number, identifying the vast majority
of aneuploidies with a low
rate of false discovery.
Using 5 %
false discovery rate in ANOVA calculation in any
of the 3 comparisons (CGR8 vs. E14TG2a vs. R1), there are 137 genes (0.9 %
of the analyzed transcripts) that show a 2-fold difference or higher in expression levels among the three lines; 34
of these genes are > 2-fold higher or lower expressed in E14TG2a, 5 in CGR8 and 11 in R1 cells.
A 5 %
false discovery rate in ANOVA calculation and a 2-fold difference or higher in any
of the 3 comparisons (CGR8 vs. E14TG2a vs. R1) led to a set
of 137 differentially expressed genes (0.9 %
of the analyzed transcripts).
In these analyses, we identify and subsequently analyze a set
of 107 autosomal genes with a
false discovery rate (FDR)
of < 30 %; in total, this larger set
of genes harbor de novo loss
of function (LoF) mutations in 5 %
of cases, and numerous de novo missense and inherited LoF mutations in additional cases.
In contrast to Ex-miRNA, none
of the miRNA in total plasma remained statistically significant if the
false discovery rate was below 15 percent.
A probe and the containing promoter were called differentially methylated if the p - value
of the probe t - statistic was at most 0.05 (uncorrected for multiple testing), log2-fold change between the groups was at least 0.25, and the
false discovery rates (FDR)
of the promoter - level statistic was at most 0.2.
The «
false discovery rate» (FDR) is used throughout the text to judge the statistical strength
of our results.
As a number
of regressions were completed, the
false discovery rate method was used to control for potential type I error (Benjamini & Hockberg, 1995).
In order to control for type 1 error when conducting multiple comparisons, Benjamini and Hochberg's (1995) rough
false discovery rate was used and the level
of significance was measured at below 0.025.
