Not compatible with python 3?

[quarkmatter]

Your software uses xrange() instead of range(), but xrange() has been discontinued in python 3. Heres a screen shot of the error i get when trying to call your qvalues() function

It looks like you're using an old version of multipy, as it hasn't been updated on pip. Try installing manually and seeing if that fixes the issue:

git clone https://github.com/puolival/multipy.git
cd multipy/
ipython setup.py install

Then run your command again. If nothing else, try copying-and-pasting the code from source to define it locally in your program. This is what I did and it works for me:

import numpy as np
from scipy.interpolate import UnivariateSpline

def qvalue(pvals, threshold=0.05, verbose=True):
    """Function for estimating q-values from p-values using the Storey-
    Tibshirani q-value method (2003).

    Input arguments:
    ================
    pvals       - P-values corresponding to a family of hypotheses.
    threshold   - Threshold for deciding which q-values are significant.

    Output arguments:
    =================
    significant - An array of flags indicating which p-values are significant.
    qvals       - Q-values corresponding to the p-values.
    """

    """Count the p-values. Find indices for sorting the p-values into
    ascending order and for reversing the order back to original."""
    m, pvals = len(pvals), np.asarray(pvals)
    ind = np.argsort(pvals)
    rev_ind = np.argsort(ind)
    pvals = pvals[ind]

    # Estimate proportion of features that are truly null.
    kappa = np.arange(0, 0.96, 0.01)
    pik = [sum(pvals > k) / (m*(1-k)) for k in kappa]
    cs = UnivariateSpline(kappa, pik, k=3, s=None, ext=0)
    pi0 = float(cs(1.))
    if (verbose):
        print('The estimated proportion of truly null features is %.3f' % pi0)

    """The smoothing step can sometimes converge outside the interval [0, 1].
    This was noted in the published literature at least by Reiss and
    colleagues [4]. There are at least two approaches one could use to
    attempt to fix the issue:
    (1) Set the estimate to 1 if it is outside the interval, which is the
        assumption in the classic FDR method.
    (2) Assume that if pi0 > 1, it was overestimated, and if pi0 < 0, it
        was underestimated. Set to 0 or 1 depending on which case occurs.

    Here we have chosen the first option, since it is the more conservative
    one of the two.

    if (pi0 < 0 or pi0 > 1):
        pi0 = 1
        print('Smoothing estimator did not converge in [0, 1]')

    # Compute the q-values.
    qvals = np.zeros(np.shape(pvals))
    qvals[-1] = pi0*pvals[-1]
    for i in np.arange(m-2, -1, -1):
        qvals[i] = min(pi0*m*pvals[i]/float(i+1), qvals[i+1])

    # Test which p-values are significant.
    significant = np.zeros(np.shape(pvals), dtype='bool')
    significant[ind] = qvals<threshold

    """Order the q-values according to the original order of the p-values."""

    return significant, qvals

Same problem for me. Updating numpy did not solve the problem

Copy-paste the above snippet did not work either, but maybe this time it was due to pathologic p-values in my case
