False discovery rate control for multiple testing based on p-values with càdlàg distribution functions

For multiple testing based on p-values with càdlàg distribution functions, we propose an FDR procedure "BH+" with proven conservativeness. BH+ is at least as powerful as the BH procedure when they are applied to super-uniform p-values. Further, when applied to mid p-values, BH+ is more powerful than it is applied to conventional p-values. An easily verifiable necessary and sufficient condition for this is provided. BH+ is perhaps the first conservative FDR procedure applicable to mid p-values. BH+ is applied to multiple testing based on discrete p-values in a methylation study, an HIV study and a clinical safety study, where it makes considerably more discoveries than the BH procedure.
