## Multiple-Test Procedures

### Description

Similiar to Benjamini-Hochberg multiple-test procedure, alpha is adjusted to be a set of values.

### Usage

    mtprocedure(alpha, N, C)

### Arguments

`alpha` | probabilistic threshold and is usually set to be 0.05 or 0.01. Default value is 0.05
`N` | numeric constant, number of genes to be detected in transcriptome.
`C` | numeric constant, it can be taken from 0 to N. C is used to choose multiple-test procedure. Default value is 0.01. This procedure is single test with C=0, Benjamini-Hochberg procedure with C=1.22 and Bonfroni procedure with C=N.

### Details

This is a multiple-test procedure family including Benjamini-Hochberg procedure, Bonferroni procedure and single-test procedure. By choosing C-value, it can generat a multiple-test procedure for controling the false discovery rate, the expected proportion of false discoveries amongst the rejected hypotheses.

### Value

return a list of adjusted alpha values.
