Is there any way to increase the decimal accuracy for probability
distributions. For example (in R):
> 1-pchisq(90,5)
[1] 0
But in Maple, I find that the value is 0.67193x10-17.
I need to compare some really small p-values...is there a way to increase
the decimal place accuracy beyond 1x10-16 (which seems to be the limit)?
Any help would be appreciated.
