It has since become an essential tool for interpreting large datasets. In recent years, as datasets have become ever larger, and as the importance of 'big data' to scientific research has grown, the significance of the FDR has grown correspondingly. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe False Discovery Rate\u003c\/i\u003e provides an analysis of the FDR's value as a tool, including why it should generally be preferred to the Bonferroni correction and other methods by which multiplicity can be accounted for. It offers a systematic overview of the FDR, its core claims, and its applications. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReaders of \u003ci\u003eThe False Discovery Rate\u003c\/i\u003e will also find: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eCase studies throughout, rooted in real and simulated data sets\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDetailed discussion of topics including representation of the FDR on a Q-Q plot, consequences of non-monotonicity, and many more\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWide-ranging analysis suited for a broad readership\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe False Discovery Rate\u003c\/i\u003e is ideal for Statistics and Data Science courses, and short courses associated with conferences.
