Rotation testing

Description

The functions perform rotation testing based on a matrix of hypothesis observations and a matrix of error observations. Adjusted p-values according to familywise error rates and false discovery rates are calculated.

Usage

rotationtest(modelData, errorData, simN = 999, dfE = -1, dispsim = TRUE)
rotationtests(xyObj, nSim, verbose = TRUE)

Arguments

modelData matrix of hypothesis observations
errorData matrix of error observations
simN Number of simulations for each test. Can be a single value or a list of values for each term.
dfE Degrees of freedom for error needs to be specified if errorData is incomplete
dispsim When TRUE, dots are displayed to illustrate simulation progress.
xyObj a design-with-responses object created by xy_Obj
nSim vector of nonnegative integers. The number of simulations to use for each term.
verbose logical. Whether rotationtests (and rotationtest) should be verbose.

Details

modelData and errorObs correspond to hypObs and errorObs calculated by xy_Obj. These matrices are efficient representations of sums of squares and cross-products (see xy_Obj for details). This means that rotationtest can be viewed as a generalised F-test function.

rotationtests is a wrapper function that calls rotationtest for each term in the xyObj and collects the results.

Value

Both functions return a list with components

pAdjusted adjusted p-values according to familywise error rates
pAdjFDR adjusted p-values according to false discovery rates
simN number of simulations performed for each term
