Subject   st: New version of -qqvalue- on SSC
Date   Fri, 05 Jul 2013 15:12:09 +0100

Thanks as always to Kit Baum, 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 generates frequentist q-values, and is described as below on my website. The new version still has the same program. However, the online help now contains hypertext to 2 Stata User Meeting presentations, and 3 Stata Journal articles (including one in this month's Stata Journal), about frequentist multiple-test procedures and their implementation in Stata.

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.
