get_adj_p: Get Adjust P Values from Group Comparison

Description

Setting aes(label=..p.adj..) in ggpubr::compare_means() does not show adjust p values. The returned result of this function can be combined with ggpubr::stat_pvalue_manual() to fix this problem.

Usage

get_adj_p(
  data,
  .col,
  .grp = "Sample",
  comparisons = NULL,
  method = "wilcox.test",
  p.adjust.method = "fdr",
  p.digits = 3L,
  ...
)

Arguments

data

a data.frame containing column for groups and column for comparison.

.col

column name for comparison.

.grp

column name for groups.

comparisons

Default is NULL, use all combination in group column. It can be a list of length-2 vectors. The entries in the vector are either the names of 2 values on the x-axis or the 2 integers that correspond to the index of the groups of interest, to be compared.

method

a character string indicating which method to be used for comparing means. It can be 't.test', 'wilcox.test' etc..

p.adjust.method

correction method, default is 'fdr'. Run p.adjust.methods to see all available options.

p.digits

how many significant digits are to be used.

...

other arguments passed to ggpubr::compare_means()

Value

a data.frame containing comparison result

Examples

# NOT RUN {
library(ggpubr)
# T-test
stat.test <- compare_means(
  len ~ dose,
  data = ToothGrowth,
  method = "t.test",
  p.adjust.method = "fdr"
)
stat.test
# Create a simple box plot
p <- ggboxplot(ToothGrowth, x = "dose", y = "len")
p

# Add p values
my_comparisons <- list(c("0.5", "1"), c("1", "2"), c("0.5", "2"))
p + stat_compare_means(method = "t.test", comparisons = my_comparisons)

# Try adding adjust p values
# proposed by author of ggpubr
# however it does not work
p + stat_compare_means(aes(label = ..p.adj..), method = "t.test", comparisons = my_comparisons)

# Solution:
# calculate adjust p values and their location
# then use stat_pvalue_manual() function
p_adj <- get_adj_p(ToothGrowth, .col = "len", .grp = "dose")
p_adj
p + stat_pvalue_manual(p_adj, label = "p.adj")

# Show selected comparisons
# Of note, p value is ajusted
# for three comparisons, but only
# two are showed in figure
p_adj <- get_adj_p(ToothGrowth,
  .col = "len", .grp = "dose",
  comparisons = list(c("0.5", "1"), c("1", "2"))
)
p + stat_pvalue_manual(p_adj, label = "p.adj")
# }
