From: A statistical method for the conservative adjustment of false discovery rate (q-value)
A simulation example for an artificial illustration. The theoretical true false discovery rate (FDR) is compared to the related estimate by q-value. This is a scenario with relatively weak differential expression and relatively small proportion of differential expression. Dark circles represent original (unadjusted) q-values and dark triangles represent conservatively adjusted q-values. The simulation details are described in the Results section
