Benjamini-Hochberg FDR control?

Open erin3692 opened this issue 3 years ago • 0 comments

Hello -- I would like to suggest something that I think would provide an improvement, and that is the additional of false discovery rate control using the Benjamini-Hochberg procedure. In the tableone documentation (https://tableone.readthedocs.io/_/downloads/en/latest/pdf/, page 9), I see the BH procedure referenced as an alternative to the Bonferroni correction. It would be so helpful to have this as an option.

There are other false discovery rate control methods too (see: https://www.graphpad.com/guides/prism/latest/statistics/stat_pros_and_cons_of_the_three_met.htm?q=Benjamini), but the BH procedure is the most common -- so would potentially be the most useful.

Also, I have a question. Are the p-values currently returned by tableone adjusted p-values? Or are they the original p-values?
