\usage{
p_map(x, precision = 2^10, method = "kernel", ...)

p_pointnull(x, precision = 2^10, method = "kernel", ...)

\method{p_map}{stanreg}(
  x,
  precision = 2^10,
  method = "kernel",
  effects = c("fixed", "random", "all"),
  parameters = NULL,
  ...
)

\method{p_map}{brmsfit}(
  x,
  precision = 2^10,
  method = "kernel",
  effects = c("fixed", "random", "all"),
  component = c("conditional", "zi", "zero_inflated", "all"),
  parameters = NULL,
  ...
)
}
\arguments{
\item{x}{Vector representing a posterior distribution. Can also be a
\code{stanreg}, \code{brmsfit} or a \code{BayesFactor} model.}

\item{precision}{Number of points of density data. See the \code{n} parameter in \link[=density]{density}.}

\item{method}{Density estimation method. Can be \code{"kernel"} (default), \code{"logspline"} or \code{"KernSmooth"}.}

\item{...}{Currently not used.}

\item{effects}{Should results for fixed effects, random effects or both be returned?
Only applies to mixed models. May be abbreviated.}

\item{parameters}{Regular expression pattern that describes the parameters that
should be returned. Meta-parameters (like \code{lp__} or \code{prior_}) are
filtered by default, so only parameters that typically appear in the
\code{summary()} are returned. Use \code{parameters} to select specific parameters
for the output.}

\item{component}{Should results for all parameters, parameters for the conditional model
or the zero-inflated part of the model be returned? May be abbreviated. Only
applies to \pkg{brms}-models.}
}
\description{
Compute a Bayesian equivalent of the \emph{p}-value, related to the odds that a parameter (described by its posterior distribution) has against the null hypothesis (\emph{h0}) using Mills' (2014, 2017) \emph{Objective Bayesian Hypothesis Testing} framework. It corresponds to the density value at 0 divided by the density at the Maximum A Posteriori (MAP).
}
\details{
Note that this method is sensitive to the density estimation \code{method} (see the secion in the examples below).
\subsection{Strengths and Limitations}{
\strong{Strengths:} Straightforward computation. Objective property of the posterior distribution.
\cr \cr
\strong{Limitations:} Limited information favoring the null hypothesis. Relates on density approximation. Indirect relationship between mathematical definition and interpretation. Only suitable for weak / very diffused priors.
