#' An internal function for getting empirical p values
#' 
#' Simulates p values.
#' 
#' 
#' @param ndads a (non-empty) numeric value indicating the number of dads.
#' @param mm a (non-empty) numeric value indicating the mean number of
#' offspring per dad per bin (normal dist).
#' @param vv a (non-empty) numeric value indicating the variance in offspring
#' per dad per bin (normal dist).
#' @param tau2 a (non-empty) numeric value indicating the dad effect
#' (narrow-sense heritability ~ tau2/(tau2+(pi/sqrt(3))^2)).
#' @param nperms a (non-empty) numeric value indicating the number of bootstrap
#' permutations to use for caluclating a p value.
#' @param nsims a (non-empty) numeric value indicating the number of
#' simulations to run per parameter combination.
#' @param nbins a (non-empty) numeric value indicating the number of bins, data
#' are pooled before analysis.
#' @return Returns a vector of simulated p values.  The list contains:
