Guix

This package takes a list of p-values resulting from the simultaneous testing of many hypotheses and estimates their q-values and local false discovery rate (FDR) values. The q-value of a test measures the proportion of false positives incurred when that particular test is called significant. The local FDR measures the posterior probability the null hypothesis is true given the test's p-value. Various plots are automatically generated, allowing one to make sensible significance cut-offs. The software can be applied to problems in genomics, brain imaging, astrophysics, and data mining.
