Hello, A small problem I can't solve > p <- 0.0001
p
[1] 1e-04
How can I force the printout of p to 0.0001?
I have tried 'format', 'round', 'signif', 'print' in different combinations without success.

You may check 'formatC':
formatC(p)
[1] "0.0001"

If the issue is general, try the scipen option: > options(scipen=10) > p <- 0.0001 > p [1] 0.0001 I hope that this helps, John ----------------------------------------------------- John Fox Department of Sociology McMaster University Hamilton, Ontario, Canada L8S 4M4 email: jfox at mcmaster.ca phone: 905-525-9140x23604 web: www.socsci.mcmaster.ca/jfox
formatC(p,format="fg") or formatC(p,format="f",digits=#) #-specify number of digits should do the job.

To explain further: R normally prints in scientific notation if it requires fewer characters than standard notation. By setting options(scipen=10), you are imposing an addition 10-character SCIentific notation PENalty whenever this comparison is made. Negative values would favor scientific notation.
