[R] How to make a figure plotting p-values by range of different adjustment values?

[Kirsten Morehouse]

Hi Jim,

Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it.

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding, but does this formula run different ajustment
values for this function?

  logit(p = doc$value, adjust = 0.025)

I'm looking to plot the p-values of different adjustment values.

Thanks so much,

Kirsten
