Dear all,

I am trying to use SAMr-library(samr), it gives me p-value = 1.001, any idea 
why?

Well, the package maintainer might be a better place to ask. (Bring an example if you do.)

However, as a generic matter, the result is obviously nonsensical, and could be due to a sloppy approximation of a distribution function, or maybe it is a (say) Bonferroni-adjusted p-value which is really an upper bound for the correct p-value.

Notice, though, that you should only very rarely care about the exact p-value. As soon as it is above 0.1, the message is just that you have not proven that there is an effect.
