Calculates the proportion of points in a vector more extreme than a specified value

Usage

ptail(obs_value, x, lower.tail = TRUE)

Arguments

obs_value

A value which will be used to assess how many points in the vector x are greater (or less) than this value.

x

A vector of values the observed_value will be compared to

lower.tail

A Boolean indicating whether one should return the proportion of points less than or equal to the obs_value value.

Examples

 set.seed(100)
 obs_value <- 3
 null_dist <- rnorm(1000)
 ptail(obs_value, null_dist)
#> [1] 0.998
