Overview

About

Maintained by Xiaoou PanCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Performs robust multiple testing for means in the presence of known and unknown latent factors presented in Fan et al.(2019) "FarmTest: Factor-Adjusted Robust Multiple Testing With Approximate False Discovery Control" doi:10.1080/01621459.2018.1527700. Implements a series of adaptive Huber methods combined with fast data-drive tuning schemes proposed in Ke et al.(2019) "User-Friendly Covariance Estimation for Heavy-Tailed Distributions" doi:10.1214/19-STS711 to estimate model parameters and construct test statistics that are robust against heavy-tailed and/or asymmetric error distributions. Extensions to two-sample simultaneous mean comparison problems are also included. As by-products, this package contains functions that compute adaptive Huber mean, covariance and regression estimators that are of independent interest.

Install

R (source archive)pak (dev)

url <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/FarmTest/FarmTest_2.2.0.tar.gz"
pkgFile <- "FarmTest_2.2.0.tar.gz"
download.file(url, pkgFile)
install.packages(pkgFile, type = "source", repos = NULL)

This package is no longer on CRAN, so install.packages() cannot fetch it by name. This downloads the last archived source (2.2.0) and builds it locally. Install its dependencies first, and note that building from source needs the usual compiler toolchain.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("XiaoouPan/FarmTest")

Development version from XiaoouPan/FarmTest. Installs pak first if it is not already available.
