pval2locfdr: Strimmer et al.'s fdrtool-based local fdr

In mutoss: Unified multiple testing procedures

Description

The function pval2locfdr takes a vector of p-values and estimates for each case the local fdr.

Usage

pval2locfdr(pValues, cutoff)

Arguments

pValues	pValues to be used.
cutoff	The local fdr cutoff for rejection. Hypotheses with local fdr smaller then cutoff will be rejected.

Value

A list containing:

locfdr	Numeric vector with local FDR values for each case
rejected	Logical vector indicating rejection/retention for each hypothesis when a cutoff is supplied.
