Graph based Multiple Comparison Procedures

Description

Performs a graph based multiple test procedure for a given graph and unadjusted p-values.

Usage

gMCP.extended(
  graph,
  pvalues,
  test,
  alpha = 0.05,
  eps = 10^(-3),
  upscale = FALSE,
  verbose = FALSE,
  adjPValues = TRUE,
  ...
)

Arguments

graph	A graph of class graphMCP.
pvalues	A numeric vector specifying the p-values for the graph based MCP. Note the assumptions in the description of the selected test (if there are any - for example test=bonferroni.test has no further assumptions, but test=parametric.test assumes p-values from a multivariate normal distribution).
test	A weighted test function. The package gMCP provides the following weighted test functions: bonferroni.test Bonferroni test - see ?bonferroni.test for details. parametric.test Parametric test - see ?parametric.test for details. simes.test Simes test - see ?simes.test for details. bonferroni.trimmed.simes.test Trimmed Simes test for intersections of two hypotheses and otherwise Bonferroni - see ?bonferroni.trimmed.simes.test for details. simes.on.subsets.test Simes test for intersections of hypotheses from certain sets and otherwise Bonferroni - see ?simes.on.subsets.test for details. To provide your own test function see ?weighted.test.function.
alpha	A numeric specifying the maximal allowed type one error rate.
eps	A numeric scalar specifying a value for epsilon edges.
upscale	Logical. If upscale=FALSE then for each intersection of hypotheses (i.e. each subgraph) a weighted test is performed at the possibly reduced level alpha of sum(w)*alpha, where sum(w) is the sum of all node weights in this subset. If upscale=TRUE all weights are upscaled, so that sum(w)=1.
verbose	Logical scalar. If TRUE verbose output is generated during sequentially rejection steps.
adjPValues	Logical scalar. If FALSE no adjusted p-values will be calculated. Especially for the weighted Simes test this will result in significantly less calculations in most cases.
...	Test specific arguments can be given here.

Examples

g <- BonferroniHolm(5)
gMCP(g, pvalues=c(0.01, 0.02, 0.04, 0.04, 0.7))
# Simple Bonferroni with empty graph:
g2 <- matrix2graph(matrix(0, nrow=5, ncol=5))
gMCP(g2, pvalues=c(0.01, 0.02, 0.04, 0.04, 0.7))
# With 'upscale=TRUE' equal to BonferroniHolm:
gMCP(g2, pvalues=c(0.01, 0.02, 0.04, 0.04, 0.7), upscale=TRUE)

# Entangled graphs:
g3 <- Entangled2Maurer2012()
gMCP(g3, pvalues=c(0.01, 0.02, 0.04, 0.04, 0.7), correlation=diag(5))
