Hi Patrick, I have actually read your paper before and I am aware of the objection. I have also implemented the "weighted Stouffer's" in R. I nevertheless want to try the weighted fisher's if possible (if for no other reason than curiosity) Andreas Cederfeldt On Wed, Jun 25, 2008 at 12:53 PM, Pa

Are you sure you want to use Fisher's method? http://www.burns-stat.com/pages/Working/perfmeasrandport.pdf page 13 shows an example where Fisher's method is not attractive, but Stouffer's method gives reasonable results. Weighting in Stouffer's method is straightforward. Patrick Burns [EMAIL P

[R] weighted inverse chi-square method for combining p-values

2008-06-25 Thread Andreas Cederfeldt
Hi, This is more of a general question than a pure R one, but I hope that is OK. I want to combine one-tailed independent p-values using the weighted version of fisher's inverse chi-square method. The unweighted version is pretty straightforward to implement. If x is a vector with p-values, then I
