Let $R$ be the number of rejections by the Benjamini-Hochberg procedure at level $\alpha$, and let $R_i$ be the rejection count after replacing $p_i$ by zero. Then $R_i\ge 1$ andIf $i$ was rejected, lowering its p-value does not change any ordered p-value beyond rank $R$, so $R_i=R$. Conversely, if $p_i\le \alpha R_i/m$, the other $R_i-1$ rejected values together with $p_i$ satisfy the original threshold; monotonicity gives $R=R_i$. For a valid true-null p-value independent of the others, conditioning on $R_i$ bounds the expectation of the right side by $\alpha /m$. Summing over true nulls proves false discovery rate at most $m_0\alpha /m$.

For a suitably regular generalized linear model, a residual deviance $D$ can be compared approximately with a chi-squared distribution on $n-p$ degrees of freedom to assess fit relative to the saturated model. Sparse or very small expected cell counts can invalidate this reference distribution. A large p-value means no detected lack of fit, not proof of correctness; dependence, wrong mean structure or overdispersion still require diagnostics.

For the Benjamini-Hochberg procedure, replace a true-null p-value $P_i$ by zero and call the new rejection count $R^{(i)}$. The Benjamini-Hochberg leave-one-out identity identifies rejection with $R=r$ with the event $P_i\le \alpha r/m$ and $R^{(i)}=r$. If $P_i$ is uniform and independent of all the other p-values, each possible rejection count contributes $\alpha \mathbb{P}(R^{(i)}=r)/m$ to its expected false-discovery fraction. Summation gives $\alpha /m$ per true null and the displayed exact false discovery rate. Super-uniform independent nulls yield the corresponding upper bound.

If the Holm step-down procedure makes a false rejection, it must reject the first true null in the ordered list. All $m_0$ true nulls remain at that step, so its cutoff is at most $\alpha /m_0$. The union bound on their marginally valid p-values gives familywise error rate at most $\alpha$. This proves strong control under arbitrary dependence, and super-uniformity suffices.

Order $m$ p-values and reject the first $r$ hypotheses, where $r=\max \{j:p_{(j)}\le \alpha /(m-j+1)\}$, with $r=0$ for an empty set. Under independent valid true-null p-values, this step-up procedure controls the familywise error rate. One proof embeds its rejections in the closed testing procedure with Simes tests: every intersection containing a rejected hypothesis passes its local Simes test, so closed-testing control of the familywise error rate applies.

For a nonempty finite index set $I$, this hypothesis asserts that every member $H_i$ is true simultaneously. A valid local test must have its stated size under every parameter satisfying the entire intersection. The Bonferroni correction within $I$ always supplies such a test from valid elementary p-values.
