[R] Help with PredicABEL

You are getting a p-value, namely p=0. It's just that, when taken
literally, the p-values are wrong.

I'm not familiar with predictABEL, but my guess is that the p-value is
below 2e-16 or some such cutoff and gets printed as zero (the means
seem to be about 10 standard deviations away from zero, which would
give a p-value of 1e-24, plus or minus a few orders of magnitude).

You may want to ask the maintainer of predictABEL what the lowest
printed p-value is (say 1e-15), then change the p=0 values to "less
than 1e-15".
