AnalysisStack {Mediana}

AnalysisStack object

Description

This function generates analysis results according to the specified data and analysis models.

Usage

AnalysisStack(data.model,
              analysis.model,
              sim.parameters)

Arguments

data.model

defines a DataModel object.

analysis.model

defines a AnalysisModel object.

sim.parameters

defines a SimParameters object.

Value

This function generates an analysis stack according to the data and analysis models and the simulation parameters objetcs. The object returned by the function is a AnalysisStack object containing:

description

a description of the object.

analysis.set

a list of size n.sims defined in the SimParameters object. This list contains the analysis results generated for each data scenario (first level), and for each test and statistic defined in the AnalysisModel object. The results generated for the ith simulation runs and the jth data scenario are stored in analysis.stack$analysis.set[[i]][[j]]$result (where analysis.stack is a AnalysisStack object). Then, this list is composed of three lists:

• tests return the unadjusted p-values for to the tests defined in the AnalysisModel object.

• statistic return the statistic defined in the AnalysisModel object.

• test.adjust return a list of adjusted p-values according to the multiple testing procedure defined in the AnalysisModel object. The lenght of this list corresponds to the number of MultAdjProc objects defined in the AnalysisModel object. Note that if no MultAdjProc objects have been defined, this list contains the unadjusted p-values.

analysis.scenario.grid

a data frame indicating all data and analysis scenarios according to the DataModel and AnalysisModel objects.

analysis.structure

a list containing the analysis structure according to the AnalysisModel object.

sim.parameters

a list containing the simulation parameters according to SimParameters object.

A specific analysis.set of a AnalysisStack object can be extracted using the ExtractAnalysisStack function.
