In lestat: A Package for Learning Statistics

Description

The p-value of a distribution is here interpreted as the probability outside the smallest credibility interval or region containing a point; if no point is explicitly given, it is assumed to be zero, or the origin.

Usage

p.value(object, point)

Arguments

object	The probability distribution for which the p-value should be computed.
point	The point which should be included in the credibility interval or region.

Value

The probability outside the smallest credibility interval or region containing the point.
