Table 1 Number of test data points that are significant (FDR < 0.05) according to various strategies for controlling the FDR. “Control data” indicates the control data-based local FDR strategy described in the present work. All other strategies indicate the assumed parametric form for the null distribution whose parameters are estimated via Efron’s semi-parametric local FDR method. Results are shown for a representative individual
