Combine p-values using Fisher method

Fisher's method is a meta-analysis technique used to combine the results from independent statistical tests with the same hypothesis (Wikipedia article).

Usage

fisherMethod(p.value, lower.tail = FALSE, log.p = TRUE)

Arguments

p.value

a numeric vector of p-values to combine.

lower.tail

logical; if TRUE (default), probabilities are \(P[X \le x]\), otherwise, \(P[X > x]\).

log.p

logical; if TRUE, probabilities p are given as log(p).

Value

a number giving combined p-value.
