Hi, I'm trying to calculate p-value to findout definitely expressed genes compare A to B situation. I got this data(this is a part of data) from whole organism , and each number means each expression values (that means, we could think 'a' gene is 13 in A situation, and it turns 30 in B situation) To findout probability, I'm going to use Audic - Claverie Method. ( The significance of digital gene expression profiles. 1997) But using this equation p(x|y), I have to calculate (x+y)! first. but I can't calculate (157+221)! or (666+1387)! in R. That's probabily the handling problem of huge number, How could I calculate p value in this data with R?
