Computes the p-value threshold for intrinsic credibility

thresholdIntrinsic(
  alpha,
  alternative = c("two.sided", "one.sided"),
  type = c("Held", "Matthews")
)

Arguments

alpha: Numeric vector of intrinsic credibility levels.
alternative: Either "two.sided" (default) or "one.sided". Specifies if the threshold is for one-sided or two-sided p-values.
type: Either "Held" (default) or "Matthews". Type of intrinsic p-value threshold, see Held (2019) and Matthews (2018) for more information.

Value

The threshold for intrinsic credibility.
