simData: Simulating Matrix of Statistics

Description

This function simulates a matrix of permutation statistics, by performing a t test on normal data.

Usage

simData(prop, m, B = 200, rho = 0, n = 50, alpha = 0.05, pw = 0.8, p = TRUE, seed = NULL)

Arguments

prop

proportion of non-null hypotheses.

m

total number of variables.

B

number of permutations, including the identity.

rho

level of equicorrelation between pairs of variables.

n

number of observations.

alpha

significance level.

pw

power of the t test.

p

logical, TRUE to compute p-values, FALSE to compute t-scores.

seed

seed.

Value

simData returns a matrix where the B rows correspond to permutations (the first is the identity), and the m columns correspond to variables. The matrix contains p-values if p is TRUE, and t-scores otherwise. The first columns (a proportion prop) correspond to non-null hypotheses.

Details

The function applies the one-sample two-sided t test to a matrix of simulated data, for B data permutations. Data is obtained by simulating n independent observations from a multivariate normal distribution, where a proportion prop of the variables has non-null mean. This mean is such that the one-sample t test with significance level alpha has power equal to pw. Each pair of distinct variables has equicorrelation rho.

# NOT RUN {
# generate matrix of p-values for 5 variables and 10 permutations
G <- simData(prop = 0.6, m = 5, B = 10, alpha = 0.4, seed = 42)

# subset of interest (variables 1 and 2)
S <- c(1,2)
 
# create object of class sumObj
# combination: harmonic mean (Vovk and Wang with r = -1)
