Description
Combine independent studies using the sum of p-values
transformed into standard normal variables
Usage
1
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. Stouffer's method is similar to
Fisher's method (fisherMethod), with the difference is that it
uses the sum of p-values transformed into standard normal variables
instead of the log product.
Value
combined p-value
