Description Usage Arguments Details Value Author(s) Examples

View source: R/closed.R

Description

Calculates adjusted p-values for the number of true hypotheses on the basis of the closed testing procedure.

Usage

1
 adjusted (closure, reject, n=0) 

Arguments

closure

An object of class closure, typically created through a call to closed .

reject

A character vector identifying the hypotheses to be rejected. Must be a subvector of hypotheses(closure).

n

The maximum number of false null hypotheses allowed.

Details

The function pick calculates adjusted p-values for intersection hypotheses of interest.

Value

The function returns a p-value (numeric).

  }

  # Perform the closed testing with ajdusted p-values
  cl <- closed(mytest, hypotheses, alpha=NA)

  # What is the adjusted p-value of the intersection of the following hypotheses?
  adjusted(cl, c("ht", "lwt", "smoke", "ui"))

  # From what confidence level would we conclude 
  # that more than 2 of the following hypotheses would be false?
  adjusted(cl, c("ht", "lwt", "smoke", "ui"), n=2)
