CCT: An analytical p-value combination method using the Cauchy distribution
Description
The CCT function takes in a numeric vector of p-values, a numeric
vector of non-negative weights, and return the aggregated p-value using Cauchy method.
Usage
CCT(pvals, weights = NULL)
Value
the aggregated p-value combining p-values from the vector pvals.
Arguments
pvals
a numeric vector of p-values, where each of the element is
between 0 to 1, to be combined. If a p-value equals to 1, we set it as 0.999. If a p-value equals to 0, an error action is executed.
weights
a numeric vector of non-negative weights. If NULL, the
equal weights are assumed.
