Yes that's a direct result of the number of simulations - if all of the simulated F statistics are smaller than the test statistics, then you will get:
p = 1/(n+1) where n is the number of simulated data sets. lh On Jul 26, 2010, at 8:44 AM, Alejandro Gonzalez V wrote: > Hello, > > Some colleagues and I are running some phylogenetic ANOVAS using the geiger > package.
