pvaluefunctions - Creates and Plots P-Value Functions, S-Value Functions, Confidence Distributions and Confidence Densities

Contains functions to compute and plot confidence distributions, confidence densities, p-value functions and s-value (surprisal) functions for several commonly used estimates. Instead of just calculating one p-value and one confidence interval, p-value functions display p-values and confidence intervals for many levels thereby allowing to gauge the compatibility of several parameter values with the data.
