## Combine p-values by the vote counting method

### Description

Combine \mjseqnp-values by the vote counting method\loadmathjax

### Usage

votep(p, alpha = 0.5)
## S3 method for class 'votep'
print(x, ...)


### Arguments

 p \sigvec alpha A value defining the significance value limits, see Details x An object of class ‘votep’ ... Other arguments to be passed through

### Details

By default splits the \mjseqnp-values at 0.5 with those below counting as positive and those above counting as negative. However setting alpha allows specifying a neutral zone. In that case values between alpha and 1 - alpha will be assumed to be neutral and only those outside the zone counted as positive or negative. If the value of alpha is greater than unity it is assumed to be a percentage.
