Details

This function was built with the intent of using it to identify rows in descriptive tables (such as cattable and conttable) with significant results. These rows could then be highlighted using bold print automatically. This might prove useful for large tables. Whereas it was intended to be used in concert with pvalue.QHS, is.significant will peel off and '>' or '

Examples

is.significant(wilcox.test(mpg~am,data=mtcars)$p.value)
 
	x=pvalue.QHS(wilcox.test(mpg~am,data=mtcars)$p.value)
	is.significant(x)

	is.significant(">0.99")
