Multivariate hypergeometric distribution version of phyper()
...ent lists of genes is due to
chance. This appears to work appropriately.
Now i want to try this with 3 lists of genes which phyper() does not
appear to support.
Some googling suggests i can utilize the Multivariate hypergeometric
distribution to achieve this. eg.:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypergeometric_distribution
But when i try to do this manually using the choose() function (see
attempt below example with just two gene lists) i'm unable to perform
the calculations- the numbers hit infinity before getting an answer.
Searching cran archives for "Multivariate hypergeometric" show this term...
