Description
Combine independent p-values using the minus log product
Usage
1
fisherMethod(x)
Arguments
x
is an array of independent p-values
Details
Considering a set of m independent significance tests, the resulted
p-values are independent and uniformly distributed between 0 and
1 under the null hypothesis. Fisher's method uses the minus
log product of the p-values as the summary statistic, which follows a
chi-square distribution with 2m degrees of freedom.
This chi-square distribution is used to calculate the combined p-value.
Value
combined p-value
