weight_by_delta: Find sum of weights for the LaGrange multiplier

In OPWeight: Optimal p-value weighting with independent information

Description

Compute sum of weights for a given value of the LaGrange multiplier

Usage

weight_by_delta(delta, alpha = 0.05, et, m, m1, tail = 1L, ranksProb,
  effectType = c("continuous", "binary"))

Arguments

delta	Numeric value of the LagRange multiplier
alpha	Numeric, significance level of the hypothesis test
et	Numeric, mean effect size of the test statistics
m	Integer, totoal number of hypothesis test
m1	Integer, number of true alternative tests
tail	Integer (1 or 2), right-tailed or two-tailed hypothesis test. default is right-tailed test.
ranksProb	Numeric vector of the ranks probability of the filter statistics given the effect size
effectType	Character ("continuous" or "binary"), type of effect sizes

Details

To obtain the normalized weight, and to make sure that the sum of the weights is equal to the number of tests and the weights are positive, an optimal value of the LaGrange multiplier delta needed. This function will compute the weights for a given value of the LaGrange multiplier and provide the sum of the weights in return.

Value

sumWeight_per_delta sum of weights per delta value

Examples

# generate a sequence of delta
delta <- seq(0, 1, .0001)

# compute probability fiven effect
filters = runif(100, min = 0, max = 2.5)
probs <- dnorm(filters, mean = 0, sd = 1)

# compute the sum of weights for each delta
weightSum_by_delta <- sapply(delta, weight_by_delta, m = 100, m1 = 50, et = 2,
                            ranksProb = probs, effectType = "continuous")
