Description Usage Arguments Value Author(s) References See Also Examples

Given a set of RLRT results and a threshold, this function outputs an estimate of the FDR (in the empirical Bayes sense of Efron, 2010) when the given threshold is used to determine which null hypotheses to reject.

1	Fdr.rlrt(rlrt.obj, threshold)

`rlrt.obj`	an RLRT object obtained from `rlrt.mp` or `rlrt4d`.
`threshold`	threshold at which the null hypothesis is rejected.

A list with elements

`MoM`	FDR based on method of moments estimator of RLRT parameters (Greven et al., 2008).
`ML`	FDR based on maximum likelihood estimation of RLRT parameters, as described in Greven et al. (2008).
