qvSUDT: To calculate adjusted P-values (Q-values) for step-up Dunnett...

In DunnettTests: Software implementation of step-down and step-up Dunnett test procedures

Description

In multiple testing problem, the adjusted P-values correspond to test statistics can be used with any fixed alpha to dertermine which hypotheses to be rejected.

Usage

qvSUDT(teststats,alternative="U",df=Inf,corr=0.5,corr.matrix=NA,mcs=1e+05)

Arguments

teststats	The k-vector of test statistics, k≥ 2 and k≤ 16.
alternative	The alternative hypothesis: "U"=upper one-sided test (default); "L"=lower one-sided test; "B"=two-sided test. For lower one-sided tail test, use the negations of each of the test statistics.
df	Degree of freedom of the t-test statistics. When (approximately) normally distributed test statistics are applied, set df=Inf (default).
corr	Specified for equally correlated test statistics, which is the common correlation between the test statistics, default=0.5.
corr.matrix	Specified for unequally correlated test statistics, which is the correlation matrix of the test statistics, default=NA.
mcs	The number of monte carlo sample points to numerically approximate the probability that to solve critical values for a given P value, refer to Equation (3.3) in Dunnett and Tamhane (1992), default=1e+05.

Value

Return a LIST containing:

"ordered test statistics"	ordered test statistics from smallest to largest
"Adjusted P-values of ordered test statistics"	adjusted P-values correspond to the ordered test statistics
