EmpiricalBrownsMethod
Bioc currentUses Brown's method to combine p-values from dependent tests
Release Lineage
Entered 3.3 · May 4, 2016
Current · Requires R 4.6
Description
Combining P-values from multiple statistical tests is common in bioinformatics. However, this procedure is non-trivial for dependent P-values. This package implements an empirical adaptation of Brown’s Method (an extension of Fisher’s Method) for combining dependent P-values which is appropriate for highly correlated data sets found in high-throughput biological experiments.
