Description: Non-parametric bootstrap and permutation resampling-based
        multiple testing procedures (including empirical Bayes methods) for
        controlling the family-wise error rate (FWER), generalized family-wise
        error rate (gFWER), tail probability of the proportion of false
        positives (TPPFP), and false discovery rate (FDR).  Several choices of
        bootstrap-based null distribution are implemented (centered, centered
        and scaled, quantile-transformed). Single-step and step-wise methods
        are available. Tests based on a variety of t- and F-statistics
        (including t-statistics based on regression parameters from linear and 
        survival models as well as those based on correlation parameters) are
        included.  When probing hypotheses with t-statistics, users may also
        select a potentially faster null distribution which is multivariate
        normal with mean zero and variance covariance matrix derived from the
        vector influence function.  Results are reported in terms of adjusted
        p-values, confidence regions and test statistic cutoffs. The procedures
        are directly applicable to identifying differentially expressed genes in
        DNA microarray experiments.
