Value

A list containing:

adjPValues

A numeric vector containing the adjusted pValues

rejected

Arguments

pValues

pValues to be used. They need a independent structure.

alpha

The level at which the FWER should be controlled

silent

Logical. If true, any output on the console will be suppressed.

Details

The method is applied to p-values. It controls the FWER in the strong sense when the hypothesis tests are independent or when they are non-negatively associated.

The method is based upon the closure principle and the Simes test.

Examples

pval <- c(runif(50), runif(50, 0, 0.01))
result 	<- hommel(pval, 0.05)
result 	<- hommel(pval, 0.05, silent = TRUE)
