optim.reject.adjp {FixSeqMTP}

Objective function to be optimized (1)

Description

Objective function to be optimized for the adjusted p-values for FWER controlling g-FSMTP based on the numbers of rejections only. (See Procedure A1 in Qiu et al. (2015))

Usage

optim.reject.adjp(alpha, p, beta)

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.

beta

pre-specified constant satisfying 0 \le \beta <1, only for method="accept".

Value

difference between adjusted p-value and significant level alpha.
