Compute local Simes p-value for a Vector of Child p-values

Given \(k\) child p-values, computes the Simes p-value \(\min_{i=1\ldots k} \{ (k/i) * p_{(i)} \}\), where \(p_{(1)} \le \ldots \le p_{(k)}\).

Usage

local_simes(pvals_children, alpha = 0.05)

Arguments

pvals_children

Numeric vector of child p-values.

alpha

Numeric scalar of alpha (not used in this function)

Value

A single numeric value: the Simes combination p-value.

Examples

local_simes(c(0.01, 0.04, 0.10, 0.20))
#> [1] 0.04
