optim.indept.adjp {FixSeqMTP}

Objective function to be optimized (5)

Description

Objective function to be optimized for the adjusted p-values for FDR controlling g-FSMTP under independence. (See Theorem 3.2 and Theorem 4.2 in Lynch et al. (2016))

Usage

optim.indept.adjp(alpha, p, k)

Arguments

alpha

the parameter we need to solve for the adjusted p-values.

p

numeric vector of p-values (possibly with NAs). Any other R is coerced by as.numeric. Same as in p.adjust.

k

pre-specified number of acceptances allowed in the testing procedure (cannot exceed the length of p)

Value

difference between adjusted p-value and significant level alpha.
