Description

This function faclitiates plotting of estimated weight functions according to the method in Dear and Begg (1992) or its non-increasing version described in Rufibach (2010).

Usage

weightLine(p, w, col0, lwd0, lty0 = 1, type = c("pval", "empirical")[1])

Arguments

Vector of p-values.

w

Vector of estimated weights, as outputted by DearBegg or DearBeggMonotone.

col0

Color of line that is drawn.

lwd0
