prob_rank_givenEffect_approx(
  k,
  et,
  ey,
  nrep = 10000,
  m0,
  m1,
  effectType = c("binary", "continuous")
)

Arguments

k

Integer, rank of a test

et

Numeric, effect of the targeted test for importance sampling

ey

Numeric, mean/median covariate efffect from external information

nrep

Integer, number of replications for importance sampling

m0

Integer, number of true null hypothesis

m1

Integer, number of true alternative hypothesis

effectType

Character ("continuous" or "binary"), type of effect sizes

Details

If one wants to test

H_0: epsilon_i=0 vs. H_a: epsilon_i > 0,

then ey should be mean of the covariate effect sizes, This is called hypothesis testing for the continuous effect sizes.

If one wants to test

H_0: epsilon_i=0 vs. H_a: epsilon_i = epsilon,

then ey should be median or any discrete value of the covariate effect sizes. This is called hypothesis testing for the Binary effect sizes.

m1 and m0 can be estimated using qvalue from a bioconductor package qvalue.

Value

prob Numeric, probability of the rank of a test
