Meta-Analyses on P-Values of Differential Analyses

v1.20.0 · Package record · software · GPL-3

Release Lineage

Entered 3.13 · May 20, 2021

Current · Requires R 4.6

1.0 In 11 of 49 releases 3.23

Description

Implements a variety of methods for combining p-values in differential analyses of genome-scale datasets. Functions can combine p-values across different tests in the same analysis (e.g., genomic windows in ChIP-seq, exons in RNA-seq) or for corresponding tests across separate analyses (e.g., replicated comparisons, effect of different treatment conditions). Support is provided for handling log-transformed input p-values, missing values and weighting where appropriate.
