In hierbase: Enabling Hierarchical Multiple Testing

Description

The hierbase package provides the functions to perform hierarchical inference. The main workflow consists of two function calls.

Functions

The building of the hierarchical tree can be achieved by either of the functions cluster_vars or cluster_positions. The function advance_hierarchy (with 'build-in' group test functions) and run_hierarchy (with a user specified group test function) perform the hierarchical testing by going top down through the hierarchical tree and obviously require the hierarchical tree as an input.
