FDRsampsize

An R package to perform power and sample size calculations for designing studies that use the false discovery rate (FDR) as the final metric of statistical significance

The purpose of the software is to provide a way to easily implement the general approach of power and sample size calculations described by Pounds and Cheng (2005) for microarray experiments with a variety of designs. Pounds and Onar (2015) developed and describe this software library.

The method is implemented in FDRsampsize R package written for the freely available statistical computing language R.

To install FDRsampsize:

Download FDRsampsize_1.0.tar.gz and execute the command install.packages("download.dir/FDRsampsize_1.0.tar.gz",repos=NULL,type="source") in R, where download.dir is the directory to which the file was saved.

The The FDRsampsize user’s manual explains how to use the FDRsampsize package.

The The FDRsampsize demo explains the demo code
