I can't find out what the difference between the number of falsly called
genes and the displayed False Discovery Rate is. Because the FDR does not
result in the calculation false/called . The total number of genes in the
example below is 2193. As far as I know the FDR is the number of falsly
called genes with respect to the number of genes called.

SAM Analysis for a set of delta:
   delta    p0   false called   FDR
1    0.2 0.622 1108.24   1519 0.454
2    0.4 0.622  831.33   1233 0.420
3    0.6 0.622  394.20    851 0.288
4    0.8 0.622   21.85    101 0.135

Thanks for your help
