What does adjusted p value mean?
The adjusted P value is the smallest familywise significance level at which a particular comparison will be declared statistically significant as part of the multiple comparison testing. A separate adjusted P value is computed for each comparison in a family of comparisons.
How do you convert p-value to Q-value?
Here’s how to calculate a Q-value:
- Rank order the P-values from all of your multiple hypotheses tests in an experiment.
- Calculate qi = pi N / i.
- Replace qi with the lowest value among all lower-rank Q-values that you calculated.
How does the false discovery rate affect p-values?
The False Discovery Rate approach is a more recent development. This approach also determines adjusted p-values for each test. However, it controls the number of false discoveries in those tests that result in a discovery (i.e. a significant result).
Are there any flaws in the 0.05 p value?
The first flaw is that the 0.05 cut-off is completely arbitrary and merely a convention. This, therefore, indicates that this value is not necessarily appropriate for all variables and for all research settings. For instance, in disease association studies, a more stringent cut-off of 0.01 is recommended to be applied.

Are there p-values that are not significant?
All p-values (in blue) below this line are declared significant. Computing the FDR-corrected values at each pixel, and thresholding at the same , however, does not produce the same results, and just 1 pixel is declared significant. Although conservative, the “correction” is far from the nominal false discovery rate and is not appropriate.
