mtpvadjust: P-value Adjustment for Multiple Comparisons

In Yuande/MBttest: Multiple Beta t-Tests

P-value Adjustment for Multiple Comparisons

Description

Given a set of N p-values, it returns a set of N p-values adjusted by choosing C-value

Usage

mtpvadjust(pv, C)

Arguments

pv	numeric vector of p-values.
C	numeric constant, the value can be taken from any number > 0 or equal to 0. C is used to choose multiple-test procedure.

Details

This is a multiple-test procedure family including Benjamini-Hochberg procedure, Bonferroni procedure and single-test procedure. By choosing C-value, it can generate a multiple-test procedure for controling the false discovery rate, the expected proportion of false discoveries amongst the rejected hypotheses. Benjamini-Hochberg procedure is given with C=1.22, Bonferroni procedure is given with C = N and single-test procedure can be given with C=0.

Value

return a list of adjusted p-values.

Note

p-value must be ordered from the largest value to the smallest value before executing tan_pvadjust.
