in this case you need to use the 'lower.tail' argument, e.g., pnorm(8:15, lower.tail = FALSE) I hope it helps. Best, Dimitris Bhoom Suktitipat wrote: Hello R-Help, I ran some analysis and were hit with some low Z-score. I tried to convert it to a p-value, however, it seems like the ceiling

Hello R-Help, I ran some analysis and were hit with some low Z-score. I tried to convert it to a p-value, however, it seems like the ceiling is around 1e-16. > 1-pnorm(8) [1] 6.661338e-16 > 1-pnorm(9) [1] 0 Do you have any suggestion how I can display a very low p-value in the form of scientific
