#'
#' @param Y (numeric vector) - A \code{data.frame} or \code{matrix} of binary or

#' @param p_cutoff (numeric) - p-value cutoff (default as 0.05) at and below
#'  which to be considered significant. Used in inference stage.
#' @param q_cutoff (numeric) - q-value cutoff (default as 0.05) at and below
