False discovery rate is the current mathematics collaboration of the week! Please help improve it to featured article standard.

Hope it's OK to do that. Tony Bruguier 21:50, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Algorithms

This article needs sections covering the different FDR methods such as step-up, step-down control, and something about adaptive versus non-adaptive control --Zven 02:10, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

The statement “proportion of incorrectly rejected type I errors,” i.e. “proportion of incorrectly rejected false positives” does not make much sense. Should it read, perhaps, “proportion of incorrectly rejected null hypotheses in a list of rejected hypotheses”? Why not to use the definition by Benjamini and Hochberg: “expected proportion of errors among the rejected hypotheses.” Or, in other words: The expected ratio of the false positives to the number of rejected null hypotheses.

For the purposes of clarity, something like your statement, “proportion of incorrectly rejected null hypotheses (type 1 errors) in a list of rejected hypotheses” would be an improvement --Zven 23:08, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
