Table 2.

Mean and variance of the absolute deviation, and correlations between the P-values. The absolute deviation is calculated as the absolute difference between empirical P-values derived from traditional permutation methods and the weighted mixture P-values. Spearman’ rank correlations of the empirical P-values derived from traditional permutation methods and the weighted mixture P-values are given
