FDR and BUM results from prostate data. (Top) Distribution of the effective false discovery rate (FDR) at the median p- value cutoff when using ten (left) or twenty (right) samples per group in the prostate tumor vs. normal data set. (Bottom) Range of beta-uniform mixture (BUM) models of the distribution of p- values by randomly sampling ten (left) or twenty (right) samples per group. The red (resp., blue) curve marks the random samples with the smallest (resp., largest) estimated number of DEGs.
