How To Install r-bioc-multtest on Ubuntu 20.04

In this tutorial we learn how to install r-bioc-multtest on Ubuntu 20.04. r-bioc-multtest is Bioconductor resampling-based multiple hypothesis testing

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install r-bioc-multtest on Ubuntu 20.04.

What is r-bioc-multtest

r-bioc-multtest is:

Non-parametric bootstrap and permutation resampling-based multiple testing procedures (including empirical Bayes methods) for controlling the family-wise error rate (FWER), generalized family-wise error rate (gFWER), tail probability of the proportion of false positives (TPPFP), and false discovery rate (FDR). Several choices of bootstrap-based null distribution are implemented (centered, centered and scaled, quantile-transformed). Single-step and step-wise methods are available. Tests based on a variety of t- and F-statistics (including t-statistics based on regression parameters from linear and survival models as well as those based on correlation parameters) are included. When probing hypotheses with t-statistics, users may also select a potentially faster null distribution which is multivariate normal with mean zero and variance covariance matrix derived from the vector influence function. Results are reported in terms of adjusted p-values, confidence regions and test statistic cutoffs. The procedures are directly applicable to identifying differentially expressed genes in DNA microarray experiments.

There are three methods to install r-bioc-multtest on Ubuntu 20.04. We can use apt-get, apt and aptitude. In the following sections we will describe each method. You can choose one of them.

Install r-bioc-multtest Using apt-get

Update apt database with apt-get using the following command.

sudo apt-get update

After updating apt database, We can install r-bioc-multtest using apt-get by running the following command:

sudo apt-get -y install r-bioc-multtest

Install r-bioc-multtest Using apt

Update apt database with apt using the following command.

sudo apt update

After updating apt database, We can install r-bioc-multtest using apt by running the following command:

sudo apt -y install r-bioc-multtest

Install r-bioc-multtest Using aptitude

If you want to follow this method, you might need to install aptitude first since aptitude is usually not installed by default on Ubuntu. Update apt database with aptitude using the following command.

sudo aptitude update

After updating apt database, We can install r-bioc-multtest using aptitude by running the following command:

sudo aptitude -y install r-bioc-multtest
