Hello MaAsLin2 Users and Developer,
I replicated the heatmap (-log(qval)*sign(coef)) caculcation in EXCEL, at least I think I did it correctly. But I encountered two intriguing outcomes. First, my calculated value has the opposite sign compare to the coef value present in the “significant_results.tsv” file. Please see attached CSV file.

Secondly, to me it seems that the heatmap value (in the below graph in dark blue) is by far bigger then 9 but my calculated (-log(qval)*sign(coef)) value, (Figure below the heatmap) is around 9. Thus, could somebody please let me know whether my EXCEL calculated (-log(qval)*sign(coef)) value is correct. Because according to the heatmap colour it should be more then 9. Or is the heatmap colour just a rough indication of the value.
Thanks for you help,
Josef
