Test practical equivalence to a negligible effect region

Performs two one-sided tests (TOST) for whether each standardized effect lies within `[-margin, +margin]`. It reports both local (entity-specific) and multiplicity-adjusted inferential states. Local states are recommended for describing the geometry of an individual braid because they do not change merely when unrelated entities are added to the analysis; adjusted states are retained for confirmatory screening across many entities.

Usage

test_equivalence(
  effects,
  margin = 0.3,
  alpha = 0.05,
  p_adjust = "BH",
  state_basis = c("local", "adjusted")
)

Arguments

effects

Effect table from `estimate_effects()` or compatible summary statistics.

margin

Smallest effect size of interest on the standardized-effect scale; scalar or named by omic.

alpha

Significance level.

p_adjust

Multiple-testing adjustment applied separately within each omic.

state_basis

Which inferential state is copied to the legacy `state` column: `"local"` (default) or `"adjusted"`.

Value

Effect table with TOST p-values, local/adjusted difference p-values, and both local and multiplicity-adjusted practical states.
