Description Details Author(s) References Examples
Performs multiple corrections that take specific structure of hypotheses into account. The two procedures implemented are the Hierarchically FDR controlling procedure of Benjamini and Yekutieli and the Group Benjamini-Hochberg procedure of Hu, Zhou, and Zhao. The methods are applicable whenever information about hierarchical or group relationship between hypotheses can be ascertained before any data analysis.

This package implements two recently developed techniques in the field of selective and simultaneous inference (SSI). The first method is the Adaptive Groups Benjamini-Hochberg procedure of Hu, Zhou, and Zhao 2011. The second is the Hierarchical FDR Controlling Procedure of Benjamini and Yekutieli. Both methods attempt to employ apriori known information about the relationships between hypotheses in testing them and correcting for the multiple testing problem. These methods have been employed in genetics, QTL analysis, and clinical trials; more deatils about these applications can be read in the references stated below.
The Group Benjamini-Hochberg procedure is implemented in its adaptive
and oracle varieties through the functions Adaptive.GBH
and
Oracle.GBH
, respectively. The Hierarchical Procedure is
implemented in the function hFDR.adjust
and uses the class
hypothesesTree
to organize the information required for the
procedure. These functions describe the procedures in more
detail. Further, the references listed below present the derivations
and applications of these two procedures.
