In multiple hypothesis testing, let R count all rejections and V count rejected true null hypotheses. The false discovery proportion is the random variable V/(R∨1), defined to be zero when R=0. Its expectation is the false discovery rate. Distinguishing the realized proportion from its expectation matters: controlling the false discovery rate does not by itself give a high-probability bound on the realized proportion.
