Fishers Method of combining p-values.
Description
FishersMethod implements R.A. Fisher's (1925) method for creating a meta-analytic p-value by combining a
set of p-values from tests of the same hypothesis in independent samples. See also Stouffer's method
for combining Z scores, which allows weighting.
Usage
FishersMethod(pvalues, ...)
Arguments
pvalues |
A vector of p-values, e.g. c(.041, .183) |
... |
More p-values if you want to offer them up one by one instead of wrapping in a vector for |
Value
A meta-analytic p-value
