>
> PLIS is a multiple testing procedure for testing several groups of
> hypotheses. Linear dependency is expected from the hypotheses within
> the same group and is modeled by hidden Markov Models. It is noted
> that, for PLIS, a smaller p value does not necessarily imply more
> significance because of dependency among the hypotheses. A typical
> applicaiton of PLIS is to analyze genome wide association studies
> datasets, where SNPs from the same chromosome are treated as a group
> and exhibit strong linear genomic dependency.

> * rrv (0.0.1)
> Charlotte Maia
> http://crantastic.org/packages/rrv
>
> An incomplete R package for working with random return variables. The
