Apologies in advance for multiple postings...
In the past, I've used the q value software package to control the false
discovery rate when making large number of pairwise comparisons of gene
frequencies or Fst values (I am one of those who feel that the typical
Bonferroni "correction" is much too conservative for preliminary surveys).
However, I can't get the latest versions of the software to run on any of my
computers, MAC OS 10.4.x, 10.5.x, or Windows XP Professional. In every case,
the program loads the P values from a text file, but then "hangs" at the
"Execute" stage. In each case, I believe that I have the correct version of R
(the statistical package that supports the Q value calculations) installed and
running, with the appropriate interface also. However, I'm no "R" expert by
any means, and I could be making some obvious mistake that I'm not detecting.
I would appreciate knowing if there is anyone out there successfully running "Q
value" on machines like mine, and if so, can I get some advice? I have been
unable to contact any Q value support groups. Does the LINUX version work
better?
Thanks to all.
