validate.pvals {RVA}

Validate Pvalues

Description

This function ensures the fold change minimum, maximum, and step are valid.

Usage

validate.pvals(p.min, p.max, p.step)

Arguments

p.min

The minimum starting FDR cutoff to be checked, so the minimum fold change cutoff to be evaluated will be p.min + p.step, p.min default = 0.

p.max

The maximum FDR cutoff to be checked, default = 0.2.

p.step

The step from the minimum to maximum fold change cutoff, one step increase at a time, default = 0.005.

Details

Specifically it checks that the pvalues are between 0-1, and that at least 1 p.step fits within the p.min and p.max bounds and is positive.
