Hello, all I am using Limma for my array analysis. Based on the user's guide, I canconvert B value to probability. however, in my results, I have adj.P.Val of 0.007 with B negative. If I use the conversion, the probability will be 0.25. But when you look at the p value, it passed the significant 0.05 level. How can I explain that? Did I misunderstand some points? Thanks Sabrina

Dear Sabrina I suspect that the question below is too vague to encourage answers. Have a look at the posting guide, and try to give a reproducible example and sessionInfo().

The (adj) p-value reported in the topTable function is associated with the mod-t statistic and is not related to the B-stat probability. The B-stat probability is obtained by converting the log odds ratio to obtain the probability p. Does this clear up your question?
