Build Status AppVeyor Build Status

Overview

This package implements Adaptive P-Value Thresholding in the paper: AdaPT: An interactive procedure for multiple testing with side information. It includes both a framework that allows the user to specify any algorithm to learn local FDR and a pool of convenient functions that implement specific algorithms:

Install the adaptMT package then read vignette(“adapt_demo”, package = “adaptMT”).

Installation

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("lihualei71/adaptMT")

If one wants to access the vignette, run the following code to build the vignette. This might update other related packages and please be patient if so.

devtools::install_github("lihualei71/adaptMT", build_vignettes = TRUE)

An Example

We illustrate the usage of adaptMT package using the example discussed in Section 5.1 of the paper AdaPT: An interactive procedure for multiple testing with side information.

# Load package
library("adaptMT")

# Load data
data(estrogen)
pvals <- as.numeric(estrogen$pvals)
x <- data.frame(x = as.numeric(estrogen$ord_high))

# Define the exponential family for AdaPT (Section 4)
dist <- beta_family()

# Run adapt_glm
library("splines")
formulas <- paste0("ns(x, df = ", 6:10, ")")
res <- adapt_glm(x = x, pvals = pvals, pi_formulas = formulas,
                 mu_formulas = formulas, dist = dist, nfits = 10)

# Plot the threshold curve and the level curves of local FDR
plot_1d_thresh(res, alpha = 0.1, "P-Value Thresholds")
plot_1d_lfdr(res, alpha = 0.1, "Level Curves of Local FDR Estimates")
