Abstract

Fisher's classical method for combining independent p-values from continuous distributions is widely used but it is known to be inadequate for combining p-values from discrete probability distributions. Instead, the discrete analog of Fisher's classical method is used as an alternative for combining p-values from discrete distributions. In this paper, firstly we obtain p-values from discrete probability distributions associated with multi-sample location test data (Fisher-Pitman test and Kruskall-Wallis test data) by permutation method, and secondly combine the permutaion p-values by the discrete analog of Fisher's classical method. And we finally compare the combined p-values from both the discrete analog of Fisher's classical method and Fisher's classical method.

연속형 분포로부터 얻은 독립적인 p값들을 통합하는 Fisher의 고전적인 방법은 널리 사용되고 있지만 이산형 확률분포로부터 얻은 p값들을 통합하기에는 적절하지 않다. 대신에 유사 Fisher의 통합방법이 이산형 확률분포의 p값들을 통합하는 대안으로 사용된다. 본 논문에서는 첫째, 여러 표본들의 위치검정(Fisher-Pitman 검정과 Kruskal-Wallis 검정) 데이터와 관련된 이산형 확률분포로 부터 퍼뮤테이션 방법에 의해 p값들을 구하고, 둘째로 이 p값들을 유사 Fisher의 통합방법을 이용하여 통합한다. 그리고 Fisher의 고전적인 방법과 유사 Fisher의 통합방법의 결과를 비교한다.
