intern.crude: Internal function
In globalSeq: Global Test for Counts

Description Usage Arguments Details Value References See Also Examples

Using the parameter estimates mu and phi and the permutation matrix perm, these functions tests for global association between y and X. The function intern.crude calculates p-values by permutation (without repetitions). The functions intern.focus and intern.conva use different tricks to increase precision and decrease computational expense.

intern.crude(y, X, mu, phi, perm)

intern.focus(y, X, mu, phi, perm, focus)

intern.conva(y, X, mu, phi, perm, offset)

`y`	response variable: numeric vector of length `n`
`X`	covariate set: numeric matrix with `n` rows (samples) and `p` columns (covariates)
`mu`	mean parameters: numeric vector of length `n`
`phi`	dispersion parameter: non-negative real number
`perm`	permutations: matrix with `n` rows (see example)
`focus`	number between 0 and 1
`offset`	numeric vector of length `n`

The function intern.focus uses permutations in chunks. If the remaining permutations do not allow to reach a specified significance level, it stops and rounds the p-value to one.

The function intern.conva uses the method of control variates from Senchaudhuri et al. (1995). Roughly speaking, if the test statistics from Rauschenberger et al. (2016) and Goeman et al. (2004) are highly correlated, it returns the asymptotic p-value from Goeman et al. (2004).

Each function returns a dataframe, with the p-value in the first row, and the test statistic in the second row.

These are internal functions. The user functions of the R package globalSeq are cursus, omnibus, and proprius.
