Description

Large Scale Single Mediator Hypothesis Testing.

A collection of methods for large scale single mediator hypothesis testing. The six included methods for testing the mediation effect are Sobel's test, Max P test, joint significance test under the composite null hypothesis, high dimensional mediation testing, divide-aggregate composite null test, and Sobel's test under the composite null hypothesis. Du et al (2023) <doi:10.1002/gepi.22510>.

Example

# simulate data under the mixture null
n=10000
u = runif(n,0,1)
z.alpha = z.beta = rep(NA,0)
pi00 = 0.98
pi10 = 0.01
pi01 = 0.01
for(i in 1:n){
  if(u[i]<=pi00){
    z.alpha[i] = rnorm(1, 0, 1)
    z.beta[i] = rnorm(1, 0, 1)
  } else if (u[i]<= pi00+pi10){
    z.alpha[i] = rnorm(1, 1, 1)
    z.beta[i] = rnorm(1, 0, 1)
  } else {
    z.alpha[i] = rnorm(1, 0, 1)
    z.beta[i] = rnorm(1, 1, 1)
  }
}
