Critical values of R(k,s) for k up to 30 and s up to 20

Critical values of R(k,s) for k up to 30 and s up to 20,
for alpha values of .1, .05, .025, .01, .005, .0025, .001

The p-product method works with the significance level p computed for each of k mutually independent experiments. The meta-analyst ranks the p's, selects some positive integer s typically much smaller than k, and computes R, the product of the s smallest values of p. R is used to test the composite null hypothesis that all k individual null hypotheses are true. The critical value of R depends on k, s, and alpha. The tables presented here are designed to supplement tables in the first and third documents posted in this section.
Reading the table. For instance, for alpha = .10, the critical value of R(3,2) is .00859. R(k,s) is the product of the smallest s of k independent values of p.
A detailed explanation of the table's derivation appears after the table.

These critical values of R(k,s) were generated as follows. For each value of k from 2 to 30, k uniform random numbers from 0 to 1 were generated and sorted from low to high. Then for each value of s from 2 to 20 (or from 2 to k if k < 20), the product R of the first s random numbers was found. That was repeated 201,000 times. Then each set of 201,000 values of R was sorted from low to high, and the 10500th entry (since 201,000 x .05 = 10500) was taken as a single entry in what we shall call the "first draft" of the part of the table for alpha = .05. That was done for each (s, k) combination just described, and for all 7 values of alpha.
The values found in this way for the same value of k but different values of s are not mutually independent, since for instance when k = 10, in each single set of 10 random numbers the 6 numbers multiplied to find R(10,6) for that sample are also used to find R(10,s) for all higher values of s. However, values found for different values of k are mutually independent, since totally new random numbers were used for each new value of k. For each value of alpha, it is reasonable to assume that the values of R(k,s) for a single value of s but different values of k (that is, the entries in a single column of the table) should form a smooth curve. Since the "first draft" values of these entries are mutually independent, it seems reasonable to smooth these values to make each one more accurate.
The smoothing was done as follows. It was observed that when both k and R are expressed in log form, the relation between them is nearly linear except for random fluctuations. In fact, the naked eye cannot see any reliable deviation from linearity. Although it would be presumptuous to assume linearity holds exactly, it does seem reasonable to assume that a cubic polynomial would be well capable of capturing any slight deviations from normality. Therefore a cubic polynomial was fitted to the values of R for different values of k but single values of s and alpha. The values from that cubic polynomial appear in the table.
