## Format P Values

### Description

`format.pval` is intended for formatting p-values.

### Usage

    format.pval(x, pv=x, digits = max(1, .Options$digits - 2),
                eps = .Machine$double.eps, na.form = "NA", ...)

### Arguments

`pv` | a numeric vector.
`x` | argument for method compliance.
`digits` | how many significant digits are to be used.
`eps` | a numerical tolerance: see Details.
`na.form` | character representation of `NA`s.
`...` | arguments passed to `format` in the `format.pval` function body.

### Details

`format.pval` is mainly an auxiliary function for `print.summary.lm` etc., and does separate formatting for fixed, floating point and very small values; those less than `eps` are formatted as “< [eps]” (where “[eps]” stands for `format(eps, digits)`).

### Value

A character vector.

### Note

This is the base `format.pval` function with the ablitiy to pass the `nsmall` argument to `format`

### Examples

    format.pval(c(runif(5), pi^-100, NA))
    format.pval(c(0.1, 0.0001, 1e-27))
    format.pval(c(0.1, 1e-27), nsmall=3)
