Some methods to adjust p-values for multiple comparisons in Julia. The various methods can be called using the function padjust. padjust takes an array of p-values and a second method parameter and returns an array of adjusted p-values. Please refer to the documentation of the corresponding function in R or to Wikipedia (FWER, FDR), if you want to know more on this topic.

Current stable version is 2.0.0.
