Assign Significance Codes Based on P-Values

Description

This function assigns significance codes to a p-value vector based on commonly accepted significance thresholds. The significance codes are:

• "***" for p-values <= 0.001

• "**" for p-values <= 0.01 and > 0.001

• "*" for p-values <= 0.05 and > 0.01

• "." for p-values <= 0.1 and > 0.05

• "<>" for p-values > 0.1

Usage

stat_sig(p_val_data)

Arguments

p_val_data

A numeric vector representing the p-values to be categorized. The vector should contain p-values between 0 and 1.

Value

A character vector with the assigned significance codes for each p-value.
