st: New version of -qqvalue- on SSC

[Roger Newson <r.newson@imperial.ac.uk>]

Thanks as always to Kit Baum (who has very kindly done the upload before 
leaving Boston), a new version of the -qqvalue- package is now available 
for download from SSC. In Stata, use the -ssc- command to do this, or 
-adoupdate- if you already have an old version of -qqvalue-.

The -qqvalue- package is described as below on my website. The new 
version has the same ado-file as before, but the on-line help now 
contains a reference (and a hyperlink) to my Stata Journal article on 
-qqvalue- (out earlier this week), which contains the methode and 
formulas. Users are recommended to buy a copy of this article if they 
have not already subscribed to The Stata Journal.

Best wishes

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.
