FDR2: Two population functional Benjamini Hochberg procedure

In alessiapini/fdatest: Interval Wise Testing for Functional Data

Two population functional Benjamini Hochberg procedure

Description

The function implements the functional Benjamini Hochberg (fBH) procedure for testing mean differences between two functional populations. Functional data are tested locally and unadjusted and adjusted p-value functions are provided. The unadjusted p-value function controls the point-wise error rate. The adjusted p-value function controls the family-wise error rate asymptotically.

Usage

FDR2(
  data1,
  data2,
  mu = 0,
  B = 1000,
  paired = FALSE,
  dx = NULL,
  alternative = "two.sided"
)

Arguments

data1	First population's data. Either pointwise evaluations of the functional data set on a uniform grid, or a fd object from the package fda. If pointwise evaluations are provided, data2 is a matrix of dimensions c(n1,J), with J evaluations on columns and n1 units on rows.
data2	Second population's data. Either pointwise evaluations of the functional data set on a uniform grid, or a fd object from the package fda. If pointwise evaluations are provided, data2 is a matrix of dimensions c(n1,J), with J evaluations on columns and n2 units on rows.
mu	Functional mean difference under the null hypothesis. Three possibilities are available for mu: a constant (in this case, a constant function is used); a J-dimensional vector containing the evaluations on the same grid which data are evaluated; a fd object from the package fda containing one function. The default is mu=0.
B	The number of iterations of the MC algorithm to evaluate the p-values of the permutation tests. The defualt is B=1000.
paired	Flag indicating whether a paired test has to be performed. Default is FALSE.
dx	Used only if a fd object is provided. In this case, dx is the size of the discretization step of the grid used to evaluate functional data. If set to NULL, a grid of size 100 is used. Default is NULL.
alternative	A character string specifying the alternative hypothesis, must be one of "two.sided" (default), "greater" or "less".
partition	Vector of length J containing the labels assigning each point of the domain to an element of the partition.

Value

FDR2 returns an object of class "fdatest2" containing the following components:

test	String vector indicating the type of test performed. In this case equal to "2pop".
mu	Evaluation on a grid of the functional mean difference under the null hypothesis (as entered by the user).
unadjusted_pval	Evaluation on a grid of the unadjusted p-value function.
adjusted_pval	Evaluation on a grid of the adjusted p-value function.
data.eval	Evaluation on a grid of the functional data.
ord_labels	Vector of labels indicating the group membership of data.eval
