This method, the method of Benjamini and Hochberg, [1] control the false discovery rate, the expected proportion of false discoveries amongst the rejected hypotheses. The false discovery rate is a less stringent condition than the family wise error rate, so thus method is more powerful than the others above. In most microarray contexts this method may be more suitable than the methods above [6].
