Hi,
I am attempting to use phyper to test the significance of two overlapping
lists. I keep getting a zero and wondered if that was determining
non-significance of my overlap or a p-value too small to calculate?
overlap = 524
lista = 2784
totalpop = 54675
listb = 1296
phyper(overlap, lista, totalpop, listb,lower.tail = FALSE, log.p=F)
[1] 0
If I plug in some different values I get a p-value but since zero is actually
lower is the overlap significant, or more likely have I made a mistake in using
the function?
phyper(10, 100, 20000, 100,lower.tail = FALSE, log.p=F)
[1] 2.582795e-12
Thanks
Elliott
