format.pval

R Base 3.6.2

format.pval is intended for formatting p-values.

Syntax

R
format.pval(pv, digits = max(1, getOption("digits") - 2),
            eps = .Machine$double.eps, na.form = "NA", ...)

Arguments

Parameter Description
pv a numeric vector.
digits how many significant digits are to be used.
eps a numerical tolerance: see ‘Details’.
na.form character representation of NAs.
… further arguments to be passed to format such as nsmall.

Return Value

A character vector.

Details

format.pval is mainly an auxiliary function for print.summary.lm etc., and does separate formatting for fixed, floating point and very small values; those less than eps are formatted as "< [eps]" (where ‘[eps]’ stands for format(eps, digits)).

Examples

Example
R
# NOT RUN {
format.pval(c(stats::runif(5), pi^-100, NA))
format.pval(c(0.1, 0.0001, 1e-27))
# }
