R/adaptest

Data-adaptive statistics for multiple testing in high-dimensional biology

Authors: Wilson Cai and Nima Hejazi

What’s adaptest?

The adaptest R package is a tool for performing multiple testing on effect sizes in high-dimensional settings, using the approach of data-adaptive statistical target parameters and inference. For technical details on the data-adaptive multiple testing procedure, consult Cai, Hejazi, and Hubbard (n.d.). For an introduction to statistical inference procedures using data-adaptive target parameters, the interested reader is directed to Hubbard, Kherad-Pajouh, and van der Laan (2016).

Installation

For standard use, install from Bioconductor using BiocManager:

if (!requireNamespace("BiocManager", quietly=TRUE)) {
    install.packages("BiocManager")
}
BiocManager::install("adaptest")

To contribute, install the development version (i.e., branch master) from GitHub via devtools:

devtools::install_github("wilsoncai1992/adaptest")

Current and prior Bioconductor releases are available under branches with numbers prefixed by “RELEASE_”. For example, to install the version of this package available via Bioconductor 3.7, use

devtools::install_github("wilsoncai1992/adaptest", ref = "RELEASE_3_7")

Note: As the first stable release of this package was through Bioconductor v3.7, the minimum version of R required to install adaptest is 3.5.0 (codename “Joy in Playing”).

Example

For details on how to best use the adaptest R package, please consult the most recent package vignette available through the Bioconductor project.
