workflowr checks: (Click a bullet for more information)
  • R Markdown file: up-to-date

    Great! Since the R Markdown file has been committed to the Git repository, you know the exact version of the code that produced these results.

  • Repository version: 6c001e8

    Great! You are using Git for version control. Tracking code development and connecting the code version to the results is critical for reproducibility. The version displayed above was the version of the Git repository at the time these results were generated.

    Note that you need to be careful to ensure that all relevant files for the analysis have been committed to Git prior to generating the results (you can use wflow_publish or wflow_git_commit). workflowr only checks the R Markdown file, but you know if there are other scripts or data files that it depends on. Below is the status of the Git repository when the results were generated:

Prof. Chao Gao asked for a more detailed explanation of the connection between frequentist and Bayesian interpretations of FDR.

In Storey 2003, Storey defined a new concept \[ pFDR := E\left[\frac VR \mid R > 0\right] \] and argued that it’s a more relevant quantity than Benjamini and Hochberg 1995’s FDR, which can be written as \[ FDR := E\left[\frac VR \mid R > 0\right]P(R > 0) \]

In Storey’s Theorem 1, they gave a Bayesian interpretation of pFDR which is \[ pFDR(\Gamma) = Pr(H_T = H_0|T \in \Gamma) \] where \(\Gamma\) is the rejection region and \(T\) a test statistic.

In Efron’s series of papers, he proposed a concept “Local FDR” as \[ lfdr(t) = Pr(H_T = H_0 | T = t) \] which can be called more simply as “posterior null probability” or else.

Efron in his unpublished manuscript (pp 4-5) provided the connection between lfdr and pFDR which can be derived this way \[ \begin{aligned} pFDR(\Gamma) &= Pr(H_T = H_0|T \in \Gamma) \\ &= \frac{Pr(H_T = H_0 \quad \& \quad T \in \Gamma)}{Pr(T \in \Gamma)}\\ &= \frac{ \int_\Gamma Pr(H_T= H_0 \quad \& \quad T = t) dt }{ Pr(T \in \Gamma) }\\ &= \frac{ \int_\Gamma lfdr(t) f_T(t)dt }{ Pr(T \in \Gamma) }\\ &= \int_\Gamma lfdr(t) f(t|T \in \Gamma) dt\\ \end{aligned} \] which is essentially an average of all lfdr in the rejection region, so pFDR, as a tail quantity, can be seen as an average version of lfdr, as a local quantity, which makes sense.
