GBH-class: Class '"GBH"'

In structSSI: Multiple Testing for Hypotheses with Hierarchical or Group Structure

Description

Class to facilitate performing the Group Benjamini-Hochberg procedure and interpreting its output.

Slots

p.vals:

Object of class "data.frame". Each row correpsonds to an individual hypothesis. The first column stores the p-values before GBH adjustment, while the second gives the GBH adjusted p-values. The hypotheses are sorted in order of significance according to these GBH adjusted p-values. The group column gives the group membership of each hypothesis, and adj.significnace codes the significance of each hypothesis, according to the GBH adjusted p-values.

pi0:

Object of class "numeric". The proportion of null hypotheses within each group. This is either known a priori or estimated adaptively from the unadjusted p-values.

adaptive:

Object of class "logical". An indicator of whether the proportion pi0 was estimated adaptively from the data or known a priori.

alpha:

Object of class "numeric". The level at which the FDR is controlled, during the GBH procedure.

Methods

plot

signature(x = "GBH", y = "ANY"): ...

Plots the p-values of the hypothesis, sorted according to GBH adjusted significance, shape coded according to group membership, and color coded according to pre and post GBH p-value adjustment.

show

signature(object = "GBH"): ...

Prints the entire table of adjusted p-values and their associated FDR adjusted significance levels, together with the estimated proportions of null hypotheses, within each group.

summary

signature(object = "GBH"): ...

Prints the most significant hypothesis, after adjusting for multiple testing via GBH. Also supplies the estimated proportion of null hypothesis within each group and a table of counts of adjusted significance across groups.

Examples

## These are the unadjusted p-values corresponding to
## the outcome of some multiple testing experiment. The
## first 500 hypotheses are null and the last 1500 are
## true alternatives.

unadjp <- c(runif(500, 0, 0.01), runif(1500, 0, 1))
names(unadjp) <- paste("Hyp: ", 1:2000)

group.index <- c(sample(1:2, 2000, replace = TRUE))

# Perform the GBH adjustment.
result <-  Adaptive.GBH(unadjp, group.index, method = "storey")

# A summary of the GBH adjustment
