These two comparisons are plotted on the following 2 slides. The spectrum of 2.0 with 5 TeV cutoff is the primary spectrum for the sources within this list. It nearly matches the local max distribution.
MatLab was used to calculate these KS values. 10

FDR is acting as we expect, for the MC with Average 0±1 the fraction of trials that contain significant source(s) match the Pcut.
For the MC with Average 1±1 the fraction of trials that contain significant source(s) indicate that the Local Max thoroughly contaminate the observations.
This MC suggests that many random MLM data sets pass FDR assuming a (0,1) background model. Suggesting that a (0,1) background model is inappropriate for the MLM data sets. 15

These distributions are not statistically compatible, calculated via Kolmogorov-Smirnov (D=.2564 corresponding P of .0094) only test to reject the null hypothesis at .05 KS significance level.
The current project (just began) is to create a Monte Carlo simulation to predict the local max shift of the angular displacement.

Conclusions
Many thanks to Professor Linnemann for his help in editing and cultivating my education concerning this project
With certainty Milagro is able to observe Mrk421 Possibly Mrk501 If we consider the Local Max observations then possibly several more.
Motivation to use the local max observation: Peak angular displacement is within the angular resolution of the FermiLAT and Milagro. Disappointment with the results from the search using just the FermiLAT points.
Work to be done yet: Monte Carlo simulations for the Local Max shift and distribution of number passing FDR Calculating flux limits & integrating them into the website. Understanding the limitations of the local max data points. Paper?

Procedure: Order the probabilities (corresponding to a significance value) from Min to Max and number them j = 1, 2, …, N
My significance probabilities (Pj) were calculated assuming a cumulative distribution function, assuming average of Zero and standard deviation of One. Also the sign of the significance value was inverted to ensure the higher the significance of the source the lower the probability.
Pcut (α) sets the proportion of false discoveries, Pcut=.05 (2σ) means we expect that less than 5% of the sources that pass the FDR method to be false.
FDR is a statistical procedure for managing the number of false discoveries within a data set when equated to a hypothesis. This method adapts to different significance cuts (Pcut) but also the size of the data set; the more entries within the set being tested imposes more stringent probability cuts per corresponding data entry. However increasing the entries within the data also increases the number of false discoveries.
FDR test: All favorable sources are those when the following statement holds: Pj < Pj

€
Pj* =
j ⋅αN
so :Pj <j ⋅αN
