| Sep 28, 2012 at 11:44 | comment | added | Gabriel | @MichaelChernick I mentioned the article because it mentions several methods of combining p-values. As I said, I'm not really interested in performing such a combination, rather I'm looking for sources to reference the various methods for, and/or complications of, doing so. | |

| Sep 28, 2012 at 3:35 | comment | added | Michael R. Chernick | I guess I don't know why you are interested in the article. They talk in the abstract about combining p-values for a combined hypothesis. If you are combining independent data set to reach strong conclusion because of the increased sample size. That is all that us meant by a meta analysis. One way to do meta analysis (also called data synthesis) is to combined p-values from independent tests of the individual data sets. Fisher's combination test is one of many that could be tried. Apparently the paper compares 6 such methods. Meta analysis is in the list of key words in the abstract. | |
| Sep 27, 2012 at 20:59 | comment | added | Gabriel | Well I'm not a statistician so I have no idea what a meta analysis is :) (sorry) I actually do not want to perform such a combination, I just need references for the various methods of doing so and/or its difficulties (like the article I presented, to which I have no access sadly) | |
| Sep 27, 2012 at 20:42 | comment | added | Michael R. Chernick | It sounds like you want to do a meta analysis. Fisher's combination test is one method for combining p-values. There are many books on meta analysis that could be useful to you. I will give you an answer with links to several books if you tell me I am on the right track. | |

It's pretty long to explain but basically I have 3 p-values obtained through the same process (the kde.test function of R's ks package cran.r-project.org/web/packages/ks/ks.pdf) but applied to three different sets of 2 columns each (all 6 columns are linked because they belong to the same 'observation')
