Nice_table: replacing rounding with scientific notation

[keithmeplz]

Hi Remi, thank you for your help. It works !

Thanks for opening an issue about this. Does the following meet your needs? Toy example below:

lm(mpg ~ cyl + wt * hp, mtcars) |>
  rempsyc::nice_lm() |>
  dplyr::mutate(p = insight::format_p(p, digits = "scientific2", name = NULL)) |>
  dplyr::rename(p_scientific = p) |>
  rempsyc::nice_table()

Explanation

As you figured, nice_table under the hood uses rempsyc::format_p, which does not handle scientific notation because it is designed only for APA style. However, insight::format_p (from easystats) does, so what we can do is use it to format the raw p values to scientific notation before feeding it to nice_table. However, nice_table only accepts a numeric variable called "p", so you will need to rename that variable since insight::format_p converts the values to character in order to have a stable scientific notation display.

You can manually rename the p_scientific column to only p if you wish so on the Word document once exported, but note that highlight = TRUE won't work since the p values have lost their numeric class.
