Description

P-value combination based on weighted Z-method

Usage

wZ(p, weight = NULL, is.onetail = TRUE, eff.sign)

Value

p : Combined p-value

overall.eff.direction : The direction of combined effects.

sumz : Sum of transformed z-score

Arguments

p

A numeric vector of p-values

weight

A numeric vector of weights (e.g., sample sizes)

is.onetail

Logical. If set TRUE, p-values are combined without considering the direction of effect, and vice versa. Default: TRUE.
