Short tutorial

• This short tutorial is about how to perform meta-analysis combining p-values from multiple studies.
• Currently, only K=2, 3, ..., 100 (number of studies) are allowed in the R package.

library(AWFisher)

K <- 50 ## combining K studies
G <- 10000 ## simulate G genes

set.seed(15213)
p.values = matrix(runif(K*G), ncol=K)
res = AWFisher.pvalue(p.values)

hist(res$pvalues, breaks=40)

ks<-ks.test(res$pvalues, "punif", min=0, max=1, alternative = "two.sided"); ## KS test to test if the AW p-values are uniformly distributed under the null
ks
