BootRWCor_SD {TestCor}

Boootstrap multiple testing method of Romano & Wolf (2005) for correlations, with stepdown procedure.

Description

Multiple testing method based on the evaluation of quantile by bootstrap in the initial dataset (Romano & Wolf (2005)), with stepdown procedure.

Usage

BootRWCor_SD(
  data,
  alpha = 0.05,
  stat_test = "empirical",
  Nboot = 1000,
  vect = FALSE,
  logical = TRUE,
  arr.ind = FALSE
)

Arguments

data

matrix of observations

alpha

level of multiple testing

stat_test

4 test statistics are available:

'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

logical

if TRUE, returns either a vector or a matrix where each element is equal to TRUE if the corresponding null hypothesis is rejected, and to FALSE if it is not rejected if FALSE, returns a list of successive p-values : element [[i+1]] of the list giving the p-values evaluated on the non-rejected hypothesis at step [[i]]; p-values are either as a vector or a list depending on vect

arr.ind

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

Value

Returns

• logicals, equal to TRUE if the corresponding element of the statistic vector is rejected, as a vector or a matrix depending of the value of vect,

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