  • FDR.sas: False Discovery Rate Program

MacroHeaderForm edit

Macro Name

FDR

Description The false discovery rate (FDR) enjoys a straightforward interpretation when used to control for false significant findings in multiple comparisons problems. Suppose that n tests out of m are declared significant at an FDR of .05, then on average 5% of these declarations can be expected to be false positives. This is in contrast to the classic type I error rate, which controls the chance of at least one false positive under the null hypothesis. This FDR macro carries out the computation to estimates the false discovery rate within the context of multiple comparisons.
Macro Parameters dsn = name of SAS data set
group = name of subset of p-values to be used for FDR
inputs = names of variables of p-values
pvalues = name of p-values for each variables
alpha = significant level to be used to calculate FDR
ResultsFormat = html format of the results file (the format can be updated based on user' choice)

Usage: Specify the data set, group, inputs, pvalues, alpha.
If FDR is applied to the entire data, then specify group=.
