Function that performs Fisher's combined probability test

1	Fisher.method(pvalVec, plot = FALSE, x.label = "p-values", main = "")

`pvalVec`	a vector containing p-values (ideally stemming from 'deltaF.linear')
`plot`	boolean specifying whether to produce a plot
`x.label`	character specifying the label for the x-axis, default = "p-values"; only when plot = TRUE
`main`	character specifying the main title, default = ""; only when plot = TRUE

Only use to combine results from independent tests that regard the same (null) hypothesis. The blue line in the plot represents expectation under uniform behavior. Function was included without modification from UvA report by Peeters, Klaasen, and van de Wiel (2015).

single scalar value
