# onlineFDR <img src="man/figures/logo.png" align="right" />
`onlineFDR` allows users to control the false discovery rate (FDR) or
familywise error rate (FWER) for online hypothesis testing, where
hypotheses arrive in a stream. In this framework, a null hypothesis is
rejected based on the evidence against it and on the previous rejection
decisions.
## Installation
To install the latest (development) version of the onlineFDR package
from Bioconductor, please run the following code:
``` r
if (!requireNamespace("BiocManager", quietly = TRUE))
install.packages("BiocManager")
# The following initializes usage of Bioc
BiocManager::install()
BiocManager::install("onlineFDR")
```
Alternatively, you can install the package directly from GitHub:
``` r
# install.packages("devtools") # If devtools not installed
devtools::install_github("dsrobertson/onlineFDR")
```
## Documentation
Documentation is hosted at <https://dsrobertson.github.io/onlineFDR/>
To view the vignette for the version of this package installed in your
system, start R and enter:
``` r
browseVignettes("onlineFDR")
```
