Combine p-values

Description

This function is used to combine the four moment-based p-values as in eq. 17 and 18 of Dufour & Luger 2017.

Usage

combine_stat(stats, params, type)

Arguments

`stats`	A (`l x 4`) matrix where `l` is the number of moment-based test statistics.
`params`	A (`2 x 4`) matrix with parameters to combine test statistics. See `approxDistDL`.
`type`	String determining the type of method used to combine p-values. If set to "min" the min method of combining p-values is used as in Fisher 1932 and Pearson 1933. If set to "prod" the product of p-values is used as in Tippett 1931 and Wilkinson 1951.

Value

A (N x 1) vector with test statistics. The last element is the test statistic from observed data.
