format_stat {MetaUtility}

Manuscript-friendly number formatting

Description

Formats a numeric result (e.g., p-value) as a manuscript-friendly string in which values below a minimum cutoff (e.g., 10^-5) are reported for example as "< 10^-5", values between the minimum cutoff and a maximum cutoff (e.g., 0.01) are reported in scientific notation, and p-values above the maximum cutoff are reported simply as, for example, 0.72.

Usage

format_stat(x, digits = 2, cutoffs = c(0.01, 10^-5))

Arguments

x

Numeric value to format

digits

Digits for rounding

cutoffs

A vector containing the two cutoffs
