Permutation 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 کاملMethods for Computing Exact P-values of the Range-scan Statistic with Epidemiologic Applic Ations
1. Introduction A common problem in epidemiology is the investigation of temporal clusters of health-related events occurring among individuals of a defined population. If the events are infrequent such as incidence of rare disease or uncommon side effects of drug therapy, a cluster may consist of all known occurrences over the time period considered. That is, all cases may occur or begin to oc...
متن کاملThe block-matrix sphericity test – exact and near-exact distributions for the test statistic
In this work near-exact distributions for the likelihood ratio test (l.r.t.) statistic to test the one sample block-matrix sphericity hypothesis are developed under the assumption of multivariate normality. Using a decomposition of the null hypothesis in two null hypotheses, one for testing the independence of the k groups of variables and the other one for testing the equality of the k block d...
متن کاملFlaw or discovery? Calculating exact p-values for genome-wide association studies in inbred populations
Motivation: Genome-wide association studies have been conducted in inbred populations where the sample size is small. The ordinary association p-values and multiple testing correction therefore become questionable, as the detected genetic effect may or may not be due to chance, depending on the minor allele frequency distribution across the genome. Instead of permutation testing, marker-specifi...
متن کاملComputing 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...
