   Dear Pavel,
   thanks a lot for your reply,
   but to be sure my question was clear enough,
   I would like if you gave a look at this link:

   What do you think about it?

     Hi Loredana ,
     1. Positive dependence is also Ok.
     2.  under the null hypothesis, the distribution of the p-values is
     Uniform[0,1] - it can be proved.
     So this is assumption of the method, you do not have to check it.
