MCP-counter p value #14

Open sdcanli opened 2 years ago

sdcanli commented 2 years ago

Hi,

I am working with MCP-counter for a microarray data. I read that the p-value generated by MCP-counter tests the null hypothesis that samples are not infiltrated by the corresponding population. The fact that it calculates geometric means as scores makes me wonder how the p value is generated. However I could not find this information from paper or website. Sorry, if I missed it.

I would be glad if you could briefly descripbe the method of p-value generation for MCP-counter.

Thanks in advence
