R: Format P Values

format.pval {base} | R Documentation

## Format P Values

### Description

`format.pval` is intended for formatting p-values.

### Usage

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

### Arguments

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

### 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)`).

### Value

A character vector.

### Examples

    format.pval(c(stats::runif(5), pi^-100, NA))
    format.pval(c(0.1, 0.0001, 1e-27))
