This package provides meta-analysis of significance values.
Although the preferred way of performing meta-analysis uses effect sizes sometimes these are unavailable and only p-values can be obtained from the primary studies. The metap package provides several ways of synthesising p-values and a graphical display. There exist a number of packages on CRAN which use one or other of these techniques in the context of genetic studies but metap is designed for general purpose use.
