Abstract: Some crucial issues about a recently proposed estimator for the proportion of true null hypotheses ($p{i}_0$) under discrete setup are discussed. An estimator for $p{i}_0$ is introduced under the same setup. The estimator may be seen as a modification of a very popular estimator for $p{i}_0$, originally proposed under the assumption of continuous test statistics. It is shown that adaptive Benjamini-Hochberg procedure remains conservative with the new estimator for $p{i}_0$ being plugged in.
