Computing exact P-values for DNA motifs
MOTIVATION Many heuristic algorithms have been designed to approximate P-values of DNA motifs described by position weight matrices, for evaluating their statistical significance. They often significantly deviate from the true P-value by orders of magnitude. Exact P-value computation is needed for ranking the motifs. Furthermore, surprisingly, the complexity of the problem is unknown. RESULTS...
متن کاملTest statistics and p-values
We point out that the traditional notion of test statistic is too narrow, and we propose a natural generalization that is arguably maximal. The study is restricted to simple statistical hypotheses. An older version of this paper is published as an arXiv technical report: https: //arxiv.org/abs/1702.02590.
متن کاملPermutation P-values should never be zero: calculating exact P-values when permutations are randomly drawn.
Permutation tests are amongst the most commonly used statistical tools in modern genomic research, a process by which p-values are attached to a test statistic by randomly permuting the sample or gene labels. Yet permutation p-values published in the genomic literature are often computed incorrectly, understated by about 1/m, where m is the number of permutations. The same is often true in the ...
متن کاملCalibration of p Values for Testing Precise Null Hypotheses
P values are the most commonly used tool to measure evidence against a hypothesis or hypothesized model. Unfortunately, they are often incorrectly viewed as an error probability for rejection of the hypothesis or, even worse, as the posterior probability that the hypothesis is true. The fact that these interpretations can be completely misleading when testing precise hypotheses is rst reviewe...
متن کاملRobust empirical calibration of p‐values using observational data
In our previous paper [1], we proposed empirical calibration of p-values as a strategy for mitigating risk of systematic error when estimating average treatment effects from observational studies. By estimating the effect of exposure on outcomes across a collection of settings where the exposure is not believed to cause the outcome (negative controls), one can estimate an empirical null distrib...
