fdrThreshold {BioNet}R Documentation

Calculate p-value threshold for given FDR

Description

The function calculates the p-value threshold tau for a given false discovery rate. Tau is used for the scoring function.

Usage

fdrThreshold(fdr, fb)

Arguments

fdr

False discovery rate.

fb

Model from the beta-uniform mixture fitting.

Value

P-value threshold tau.
