Subject: Re: [R] FDR analyses: minimum number of features
Have you considered Monte Carlo? From previous work, you
could estimate a distribution for the differences to be detected and use
that as input to a Monte Carlo, computing thereby a distribution for FDR
as a function of distribution of differences and the number of features.
From this, you could estimate probabilities for obtaining results that
were bogus vs. marginal, barely useful vs. highly accurate and plot them
vs. alternative budgets, etc.
I hope this comment makes more sense than my earlier nonsense.
