All of the Response Screening plots involve p-values for tests conducted using the FDR technique described in Benjamini and Hochberg (1995). See also Westfall et al. (2011). This method assumes that the p-values are independent and uniformly distributed.

JMP uses the following procedure to control the false discovery rate at level α:

This procedure ensures that the expected false discovery rate does not exceed α.

The p-values adjusted for the false discovery rate, denoted p(i), FDR, are computed as follows:

If a hypothesis has an FDR-adjusted p-value that falls below α, then it is rejected by the procedure.
