Significance Variable Cutoff for Fisher Exact Tests

The Fisher Exact Test requires conversion of the continuous significance variables into 0-1 (binary) variables. Specify a cutoff value here that is in accordance with the direction chosen in the {link}{Emphasis}Direction of Significance Variables parameter.

Typical cutoffs are as follows:

Direction of Significance Variables

Typical Cutoff

Bidirectional (e.g. t-statistics)

2

Larger is more significant (e.g. -log10p-values)

4

Smaller is more significant (e.g. p-values)

0.0001
