weightLine: Function to plot estimated weight functions

Description

This function faclitiates plotting of estimated weight functions according to the method in Dear and Begg (1992) or its non-increasing version described in Rufibach (2010).

Usage

weightLine(p, w, col0, lwd0, lty0 = 1, type = c("pval", "empirical")[1])

Arguments

p
Vector of $p$-values.
w
Vector of estimated weights, as outputted by DearBegg or DearBeggMonotone.
col0
Color of line that is drawn.
lwd0
Line width.
lty0
Line type.
type
Should weights be drawn versus original $p$-values (type == "pval") or versus the empirical distribution of the $p$-values (type === "empirical").
