Vectorised Computation of P-Values and Their Supports for Several Discrete Statistical Tests

Description

This package provides vectorised functions for computing p-values of various discrete statistical tests. Exact and approximate computation methods are provided. For exact p-values, several procedures of determining two-sided p-values are included.

Additionally, these functions are capable of returning the discrete p-value supports, i.e. all observable p-values under a null hypothesis. These supports can be used for multiple testing procedures in the DiscreteFDR and FDX packages.
