twilight

twilight logo twilight is an R/Bioconductor package that includes several functions for the statistical analysis of two-condition microarray data. The main algorithm for estimating the local false discovery rate is described in Scheid and Spang (2004a). The newer versions of twilight include the permutation filtering algorithm introduced in Scheid and Spang (2006).
