Threshold.FDR: False Discovery Rate (FDR) Threshold

Description

Calculates the False Discovery Rate (FDR) threshold for a given vector of statistic values..

Usage

Threshold.FDR(x, q, cV.type = 2, type = c("Normal", "t", "F"), df1 = NULL, df2 = NULL)

Arguments

x

A vector of p-values.

q

The desired False Discovery Rate threshold.

cV.type

A flag that specifies the assumptions about the joint distribution of p-values. Choose cV.type = 2 for fMRI data (see Genovese et al (2001)

type

The distribution of the statistic values. Either "Normal", "t" or "F".

df1

The degrees of freedom of the t-distribution or the first degrees of freedom parameter for the F distribution.

df2

The second degrees of freedom parameter for the F distribution.

Value

• Returns the FDR threshold.

Examples

x <- c(rnorm(1000), rnorm(100, mean = 3))
