Because MIC is rank-order statistic, the uncorrected p-value of a given MIC score under a null hypothesis of statistical independence depends only on the score and on the sample size of the relationship in question. We have pre-computed the p-values of various MIC scores at different sample sizes. To find a p-value for your MIC score, download the comma-separated values (CSV) file corresponding to your sample size:
20 | 25 | 30 | 35 | 40 | 45 | 50 | 55 | 60 | 65 |
70 | 75 | 80 | 85 | 90 | 95 | 100 | 110 | 120 | 130 |
140 | 150 | 170 | 190 | 220 | 260 | 300 | 340 | 380 | 440 |
520 | 600 | 680 | 760 |
The table above was created using default parameters for MIC, and in particular α = 0.6 was used. We hope to include tables for other settings of α, as well as expanded tables with more sample sizes, in the near future.
