FDR control for somatic deletions. Results are grouped by deletion length, denoted as interval at the top of the plot. The axes denote the desired FDR, provided by the user as input (x-axis) and the true achieved FDR (y-axis). A perfect FDR control would keep the curve exactly on the dashed diagonal. Below the diagonal, the control is conservative. Above the diagonal, the FDR would be underestimated. Importantly, points below the diagonal mean that the true FDR is smaller than the threshold provided, which means that FDR control is still established; in this sense, points below the diagonal are preferable over points above the diagonal
