Exact Global P value MR-PRESSO #8

Open Cerinthe opened 5 years ago

Cerinthe commented 5 years ago

The result of the P value of the MR-PRESSO Global test I get is "<0.001". Is it possible to get the exact P value instead? Many thanks!

Hi, Since the global P-value is an empirical P-value the only way to get the exact P-value is to increase the number of permutations by increasing "NbDistribution" to obtain the precision you want (~1/NbDistribution). Best.
