A simple function to associated p-values with symbols

Description

The signifSymbols function takes one vector of p-values and returns a vector of symbols that correspond to thresholds that can be set. Default thresholds values and symbols are the most common ones.

Usage

signifSymbols(
  pvalue,
  thresholds = c(0.1, 0.05, 0.01, 0.001),
  symbols = c(".", "*", "**", "***"),
  notsignif = "n.s."
)

Arguments

pvalue	a p-value for which a symbol is requested.
thresholds	the threshold values that define category to which symbols are assigned.
symbols	list of symbols.
notsignif	symbols for non significant p-value.

Examples

signifSymbols(.012)
signifSymbols(.008)
lapply(c(.2, .08, .04, .008, 0.0001), signifSymbols)
