Description Usage Arguments See Also Examples

Quantile function, also known as the inverse of cumulative distribution function of the normal distribution, is used to map p-values to continuous scores raging on R. The signs of the resulting scores are positive by default and are determined by the parameter sign.

1	pQnormScore(p, sign = 1)

`p`	p-value(s) between (0,1]
`sign`	Signs of the scores, either positive (in case of positive numbers), negative (in case of negative numbers), or zero. In case of a logical vector, `TRUE` is interpreted as positive and `FALSE` is interpreted as negative.

testPvals <- c(0.001, 0.01, 0.05, 0.1, 0.5, 1)
pQnormScore(testPvals)
testPvalSign <- rep(c(-1,1), 3)
pQnormScore(testPvals, sign=testPvalSign)
testLog <- rep(c(TRUE, FALSE),3)
pQnormScore(testPvals, testLog)
