to be honest we just recorded the coeff values for each replicate and did the bootstrap variance calculation.

% of replicates with (coef==0) is potentially much more clever, especially since that's the test we want to perform anyway. i'll run that over the data and see what changes.



I think the question is these don't look like NormalCDF(coef/se) p-values given the coef and se you report. They tend to be too small.

From a frequentist perspective, counting zeroes don't make much sense because under the null of coef=0 there is still a chance you don't estimate coef=0, even after regularization.

right that's my question


interesting yeah some of them definitely don't look right. the output is from scipy's stats.ttest_1samp
