Fdr.rlrt: False discovery rate estimation for massively parallel restricted likelihood ratio tests

Description

Given a set of RLRT results and a threshold, this function outputs an estimate of the FDR (in the empirical Bayes sense of Efron, 2010) when the given threshold is used to determine which null hypotheses to reject.

Usage

Fdr.rlrt(rlrt.obj, threshold)

Arguments

rlrt.obj

an RLRT object obtained from rlrt.mp or rlrt4d.

threshold

threshold at which the null hypothesis is rejected.

Value

A list with elements A list with elements
