summary.qvalue {qvalue} | R Documentation

## Display q-value object

### Description

Display summary information for a q-value object.

### Usage

    ## S3 method for class 'qvalue'
    summary(object, cuts = c(1e-04, 0.001, 0.01, 0.025, 0.05,
      0.1, 1), digits = getOption("digits"), ...)

### Arguments

`object` | A q-value object.
`cuts` | Vector of significance values to use for table (optional).
`digits` | Significant digits to display (optional).
`...` | Additional arguments; currently unused.

### Details

`summary` shows the original call, estimated proportion of true null hypotheses, and a table comparing the number of significant calls for the p-values, estimated q-values, and estimated local FDR values using a set of cutoffs given by `cuts`.

### Value

Invisibly returns the original object.
