LocalFDR {anapuce}R Documentation

Local FDR

Description

Estimation of local false discovery rates

Usage

LocalFDR(dataf = dataf, graph = TRUE, method = NULL, lambda0 = 0.5, 
smoothing = "1", thres = c(0.01, 0.05, 0.1, 0.2), mm = c(3, 5, 15, NA))

Arguments

dataf

input data file with two columns (1 = gene name, 2= ordered raw pvalues).

graph

if TRUE a pdf graphic is created.

method

method for estimating m0. This must be one of the strings "adaptive", "conservative", "bootstap", "smoother" or NULL.

lambda0

value used in calculating m0.

smoothing

"1" for the initial published method, "2" for the PAVA method isotonic (monotonely increasing nonparametric) least squares regression - see P. Broberg (2005).

thres

threshold defining intervals used for the movering average smoothing.

mm

parameter defining intervals used for the movering average smoothing.

Value

- if graph = TRUE, a file of graphics named LocalFDRGraph.pdf

- A data file (LocalFDRFile.txt) with 4 columns : gene name, raw pvalues and two columns corresponding to smoothed FDR values.
