Here is what he found.</p> <p>“I found something that I hadn’t realized, although is obvious in hindsight: although you sometimes see inflation under null of <span class="math inline">\(p\)</span>-values/<span class="math inline">\(z\)</span>-scores, the most extreme values are not inflated compared with expectations (and tend to be deflated). That is the histograms of <span class="math inline">\(p\)</span>-values that show inflation near <span class="math inline">\(0\)</span> (and deflation near <span class="math inline">\(1\)</span>) actually hide something different going on in the very left hand side near <span class="math inline">\(0\)</span>. The qq-plots are clearer… showing most extreme values are deflated, or not inflated. This is expected under positive correlation i think. For example, if all <span class="math inline">\(z\)</span>-scores were the same (complete correlation), then most extreme of n would just be <span class="math inline">\(N(0,1)\)</span>. but if independent the most extreme of n would have longer tails…”</p> <p>Matthew’s initial observation inspired this project. If under positive correlation, the most extreme tend to be not inflated, maybe we can use them to control the false discoveries. Meanwhile, if the moderate are more prone to inflation due to correlation, maybe it’s better to make only partial use of their information.</p> <ul> <li><a href="ExtremeOccurrence.html">Occurrence of extreme observations</a></li> </ul> <p>As <a href="https://galton.uchicago.edu/~stein/">Prof. Michael Stein</a> pointed during a conversation with <a href="http://stephenslab.uchicago.edu/">Matthew</a>, if the marginal distribution is correct then the expected number exceeding any threshold should be correct. So if the tail is “usually”" deflated, it should be that with some small probability there are many large <span class="math inline">\(z\)</span>-scores (even in the tail). Therefore, if “on average” we have the right number of large <span class="math inline">\(z\)</span>-scores/small <span class="math inline">\(p\)</span>-values, and “usually” we have too few, then “rarely” we should have too many.
