A modified generalized Fisher method for combining probabilities from dependent tests
Rapid developments in molecular technology have yielded a large amount of high throughput genetic data to understand the mechanism for complex traits. The increase of genetic variants requires hundreds and thousands of statistical tests to be performed simultaneously in analysis, which poses a challenge to control the overall Type I error rate. Combining p-values from multiple hypothesis testin...
متن کاملModified pseudospectral method for generalized Burger’s-Fisher equation
Abstract We consider solitary-wave solutions of the generalized Burger’s-Fisher equation ∂Ψ ∂t + αΨ δ ∂Ψ ∂x − ∂ 2Ψ ∂x2 = βΨ(1 − Ψδ). In this paper, we present a new method for solving of the generalized Burger’s-Fisher equation by using the collocation formula for calculating spectral differentiation matrix for Chebyshev-Gauss-Lobatto point. To reduce round-off error in spectral collocation met...
متن کاملIs the weighted z-test the best method for combining probabilities from independent tests?
Through simulation, Whitlock showed that when all the alternatives have the same effect size, the weighted z-test is superior to both unweighted z-test and Fisher's method when combining P-values from independent studies. In this paper, we show that under the same situation, the generalized Fisher method due to Lancaster outperforms the weighted z-test.
متن کاملFinancial Probabilities from Fisher Information
We present a novel synthesis of Fisher information and asset pricing theory that yields a practical method for reconstructing the probability density implicit in security prices. The Fisher information approach to these inverse problems transforms the search for a probability density into the solution of a differential equation for which a substantial collection of numerical methods exist. We i...
متن کاملAdaptive Nonparametric Tests for the Generalized Behrens-Fisher Problem
Some adaptive test procedures are developed for the generalized Behrens-Fisher problem. The one having a deterministic approach is based on calculating a measure of symmetry from each sample and using them as a basis for choosing between the modified Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney test (Fligner and Policello, 1981) and the modified Mood’s median test (Fligner and Rust, 1982). The other one is a probabil...
