bbum: A package to account for secondary effects signal in multiple testing

Description

Standard multiple testing correction methods cannot directly handle datasets that contain a weaker background secondary signal confounding the primary signal of interest. A bi-beta-uniform mixture (BBUM) model allows the modeling and correction for the false discovery rate (FDR) of both null and secondary effects.
