qch - Query Composite Hypotheses
Provides functions for the joint analysis of Q sets of
p-values obtained for the same list of items. This joint
analysis is performed by querying a composite hypothesis, i.e.
an arbitrary complex combination of simple hypotheses, as
described in Mary-Huard et al. (2021)
<doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btab592> and De Walsche et
al.(2025) <doi: 10.1093/nargab/lqaf118>. In this approach, the
Q-uplet of p-values associated with each item is distributed as
a multivariate mixture, where each of the 2^Q components
corresponds to a specific combination of simple hypotheses. The
dependence between the p-value series is considered using a
Gaussian copula function. A p-value for the composite
hypothesis test is derived from the posterior probabilities.
