I would use the -qqvalue- package, downloadable from SSC, which inputs a variable containing p-values and outtputs a variable containing q-values (adjusted p-values) from one of a choice of multiple-test procedures, defaulting to the Bonferroni procedure. To use -qqvalue-, you must have a dataset with 1 observation per tested parameter and data on P-values and possibly other parameter attributes. Such a dataset may be created using the SSC package -parmest-, or may be created manually, using a spreadsheet. See Newson (2010) to find more about -qqvalue-.

A lot of Stata commands can also produce Bonferroni- and Sidak-corrected p-values and confidence limits, if requested by the user.

I hope this helps.

Best wishes

Roger

Hi Stata list,

Is there an SSC that automatically gives you the percentage chance of
having at least one false positive and at least one false negative as
you increase or decrease the number of statistical tests done?

With thanks
Gwinyai
