adjustPvalGSE: Multiple testing correction

In RTopper: This package is designed to perform Gene Set Analysis across multiple genomic platforms

Description

This function is an interface to the mt.rawp2adjp function contained in the multtest package. adjustPvalGSE works on outputs from runBatchGSE and combineGSE returning adjusted p-values

Usage

adjustPvalGSE(gseOut, proc = "BH", alpha = 0.05 , na.rm = FALSE)

Arguments

gseOut	list of lists, either the output from runBatchGSE, or the output from combineGSE
proc	character, the method to be used for p-values adjusting. This parameter will be passed to the mt.rawp2adjp function from the multtest package. The available options include: "Bonferroni", "Holm", "Hochberg", "SidakSS", code"SidakSD", "BH" (the default), "BY", "ABH", and "TSBH"
alpha	numeric, the nominal type I error rate
na.rm	logical, the option for handling NA values in the list of raw p-values

Details

The adjustPvalGSE function performs p-value adjusting for multiple testing correction on the list of lists resulting from enrichment analysis obtained using the runBatchGSE and combineGSE functions. This functions is based on the mt.rawp2adjp function contained in the multtest package.

Value

For each vector of p-value contained in the gseOut input object a data.frame is returned, containing original p-value and corrected p-values

Examples

###load gse analysis results for separate gene-to-phenotype score
data(gseResultsSep)

###adjust for multiple testing using the Benjamini and Hochberg method
gseABS.int.BH <- adjustPvalGSE(gseResultsSep)

###adjust for multiple testing using the Holm method
gseABS.int.holm <- adjustPvalGSE(gseResultsSep, proc = "Holm")
