Get_EffectiveNumberTest: Estimate the effective number of tests for Bonferroni correction

Description

Estimate the effective number of tests for Bonferroni correction using the minimum achievable p-values (MAP).

Usage

Get_EffectiveNumberTest(MAP, alpha=0.05, Is.MidP=TRUE)

Arguments

MAP

a vector of the minimum achievable p-values (MAP).

alpha

a significant level.

Is.MidP

a logical value indicating whether p-values are mid-p-values.

Value

Effective number of test for Bonferroni correction at the level alpha. MAP can be obtained from SKATBinary functions.
