BHBootCor {TestCor}

Benjamini & Hochberg (1995)'s procedure for correlation testing with bootstrap evaluation of p-values.

Description

Benjamini & Hochberg (1995)'s procedure on the correlation matrix entries with bootstrap evaluation of p-values (no theoretical proof of control).

Usage

BHBootCor(
  data,
  alpha = 0.05,
  stat_test = "2nd.order",
  Nboot = 100,
  vect = FALSE,
  arr.ind = FALSE
)

Arguments

data

matrix of observations

alpha

level of multiple testing

stat_test

'empirical'

\sqrt{n}*abs(corr)

'fisher'

\sqrt{n-3}*1/2*\log( (1+corr)/(1-corr) )

'student'

\sqrt{n-2}*abs(corr)/\sqrt(1-corr^2)

'2nd.order'

\sqrt{n}*mean(Y)/sd(Y) with Y=(X_i-mean(X_i))(X_j-mean(X_j))

Nboot

number of iterations for bootstrap quantile evaluation

vect

if TRUE returns a vector of TRUE/FALSE values, corresponding to vectorize(cor(data)); if FALSE, returns an array containing TRUE/FALSE values for each entry of the correlation matrix

arr.ind

if TRUE, returns the indexes of the significant correlations, with respect to level alpha

Value

Returns

• a vector or a matrix of logicals, equal to TRUE if the corresponding element of the statistic vector is rejected, if arr.ind=FALSE,

• an array containing indexes \lbrace(i,j),\,i<j\rbrace for which correlation between variables i and j is significant, if arr.ind=TRUE.
