R: Calculate combined p-value

p_combine {Corbi} | R Documentation

## Calculate combined p-value

### Description

Combine the statistical significance results from several independent tests by using one of several methods.

### Usage

    p_combine(p, method = "sumlog", shrink = Inf)

### Arguments

`p` | the numeric vector containing the p-values need to combine.
`method` | the method use to combine the p-values, can be "sumlog" (Fisher's method), "sumz" (Stouffer’s method).
`shrink` | the number of p-values used in calculation, which are uniform selected from original p-value vector.

### Value

This function will return a list with the following components:

`p` | The combined p-value.
`v` | The value of statistic.
`` | Use "sumlog" method:
`chisq` | The value of chi-squared statistic.
`df` | The degrees of freedom of chi-squared distribution.
`` | Use "sumz" method:
`z` | The value of sum z statistic.
