Pvalue shows "-nan" in output of gene level association test

[ppjeep]

Most of gene-level outputs are reasonable, but there are a few lines show "-nan" in Pvalue.

There must be some numeric issues. Will you help provide some example data sets so that I can replicate these errors?

Hi, I had encountered a similar problem of "-nan" in pvalue while running the SKAT. For the same, the burden test and single variant analysis were properly run. SKATO gave "NA" result. Here, I have attached an example. Kindly help me to understand and solve this problem. Thank you.

Hi, is there any updates on this issue, I also encountered a similar problem, and got a lot of "-nan" in Pvalue when doing gene-based burden test like CMC and also SKAT.

Thanks!
