In ecespa: Functions for Spatial Point Pattern Analysis

P-value for a discrete distribution on small sample data

Description

Computes the p-value for a two-sided hypothesis test following Dixon's (2002:145) description of the method of Agresti & Min (2001).

Usage

p2colasr(Z)

Arguments

Z	vector with the observed Z-score in the first position and all the simulated values behind.

Value
