July 29, 2020
Posted a new working paper on arXiv: Admissible ways of merging p-values under arbitrary dependence. This paper is the first systematic study of admissibility issues in p-merging functions. We are able to obtain interesting theoretical results connected to e-values, and strictly improve some classic methods in the literature.
