Hello Kit

Please find attached the latest version of the -qqvalue- package (defined as below on my website) for distribution on SSC when you return to Boston after 12 August.

The new version replaces the terminology "quasi-q-value" with "q-value" in the .pkg file, in the on-line help, and in the labels of the generated variables. I was advised by Gordon Smyth (the author of the R package -p.adjust-, which does a similar job in R) that the "quasi-" is not really necessary, as people he knows just call them "q-values". I have therefore altered the terminology to remove the "quasi-", but use the term "frequentist q-values" when I need to make a distinction between the frequentist q-values produced by -qqvalue- and -p.adjust- and the original empirical Bayesian q-values defined by John Storey.

Best wishes (and thanke in advance)

Roger

TITLE
qqvalue: Generate frequentist q-values by inverting multiple-test procedures

DESCRIPTION/AUTHOR(S)
      qqvalue is similar to the R package p.adjust.  It inputs a single
      variable, assumed to contain P-values calculated for multiple
      comparisons, in a dataset with 1 observation per comparison.  It
      outputs a new variable, containing the q-values corresponding to
      these P-values, calculated by inverting a multiple-test procedure
      specified by the user.  These q-values represent, for each
      corresponding P-value, the minimum uncorrected P-value threshold
      for which that P-value would be in the discovery set, assuming that
      the specified multiple-test procedure was used on the same set of
      input P-values to generate a corrected P-value threshold.  These
      minimum uncorrected P-value thresholds may represent familywise
      error rates or false discovery rates, depending on the procedure
      used.  Optionally, qqvalue may output other variables, containing
      the various intermediate results used in calculating the
      q-values.  The multiple-test procedures available for
      qqvalue are a subset of those available using the multproc module
      of the smileplot package, which can be downloaded from SSC.
