stat.soft.omni: Construct omnibus soft-thresholding Fisher's p-value combination statistic.

Description

Construct omnibus soft-thresholding Fisher's p-value combination statistic.

Usage

stat.soft.omni(p, TAU1, M = NULL)

Arguments

p

- input p-values.

TAU1

- a vector of truncation parameters (=normalization parameters). Must be in non-descending order.

M

- correlation matrix of the input statistics. Default = NULL assumes independence.

Value

omni - omnibus soft-thresholding statistic.

pval - p-values of each soft-thresholding tests.

Details

Let \(x_{i}\), \(i = 1,...,n\) be a sequence of individual statistics with correlation matrix M, \(p_{i}\) be the corresponding two-sided p-values, then the soft-thresholding statistics $$Soft_j = \sum_{i=1}^n -2\log(p_i/\tau_{1j})I(p_i\leq\tau_{1j})$$, \(j = 1,...,d\). The omnibus test statistic is the minimum p-value of these soft-thresholding tests, $$W_o = min_j G_j(Soft_j)$$, where \(G_j\) is the survival function of \(Soft_j\).

pval = runif(20)
TAU1 = c(0.01, 0.05, 0.5, 1)
stat.soft.omni(p=pval, TAU1=TAU1)
M = matrix(0.3,20,20) + diag(1-0.3,20)
stat.soft.omni(p=pval, TAU1=TAU1, M=M)
