Combine p-values by the vote counting method

Description

Combine p-values by the vote counting method

Usage

votep(p, alpha = c(0.5, 0.5))
## S3 method for class 'votep'
print(x, ...)

Arguments

Details

By default splits the p-values at 0.5 with those below counting as positive and those above counting as negative. However setting alpha allows for a different choice of cut-off and also by specifying two different values for a neutral zone. If either value of alpha is greater than unity it is assumed to be a percentage.

The values of p should be such that 0<=p<=1 and a warning is issued if this is not true An error occurs if possibly as a result of deletion fewer than two studies remain.

The plot method for class ‘metap’ calls schweder on the valid p-values

Value

An object of class ‘votep’ and ‘votep’, a list with entries
