The number of permutations specifies the number of simple random Monte Carlo permutations for computing a Minor Arc
p-value
. For each permutation, the algorithm computes the
t-statistic
of the best Minor Arc partition. The proportion of permutations whose
t-statistic
is greater than the
t
-statistic of the original partition equals the Minor Arc
p
-value.
Alpha
is compared to the sum of the Minor Arc and Major Arc
p
-values.
