Pval.dist {Rtreemix} | R Documentation |
This function calculates the p-value of a given similarity value, i.e. the probability for obtaining the same or a smaller value than the given one in a vector of random similarity values. The p-value is used to determine whether the given similarity value is significant.
Pval.dist(dist.val, random.vals)
dist.val |
A numeric value quanifying the similarity
for which a p-value should be calculated. |
random.vals |
A numeric vector of random similarities used
for calculating the p-value. |
It returns a numeric
value between 0 and 1 that specifies the
p-value of the given dist.val
.

## The function is currently defined as function(dist.val, random.vals) { return((sum(random.vals <= dist.val) + 1) /(length(random.vals) + 1)) } ## Define the similarity value and a vector of random similarities sim.val <- 0.2 rand.vals <- c(0.1, 0.24, 0.28, 0.35, 0.15, 0.5, 0.14, 0.6, 0.8, 0.3) ## Calculate the p-value of sim.val using the vector of random ## similarities Pval.dist(dist.val = sim.val, random.vals = rand.vals)
