The function plot allows one to view several plots:
The estimated pi_0 versus the tuning parameter lambda.
The q-values versus the p-values.
The number of significant tests versus each q-value cutoff.
The number of expected false positives versus the number of significant tests.
This function makes four plots. The first is a plot of the estimate of pi_0 versus its tuning parameter lambda. In most cases, as lambda gets larger, the bias of the estimate decreases, yet the variance increases. Various methods exist for balancing this bias-variance trade-off (Storey 2002, Storey & Tibshirani 2003, Storey, Taylor & Siegmund 2004). Comparing your estimate of pi_0 to this plot allows one to guage its quality. The remaining three plots show how many tests are called significant and how many false positives to expect for each q-value cut-off. A thorough discussion of these plots can be found in Storey & Tibshirani (2003).
Nothing of interest.
