Many functions in R produce objects with a class, and there are special
methods to print many classes. In the case of pairwise.wilcox.test the
object produced is of class "pairwise.htest". You can see the code using
stats:::print.pairwise.htest
and you'll see it hard-codes 2 significant digits. (Which surprises me
a bit, but I guess your p-values are all 0.030 and 0.050.)
You can edit the definition for a temporary change:
print.pairwise.htest <- function (x, digits = 5, ...)
{
cat("\n\tPairwise comparisons using", x$method, "\n\n")
cat("data: ", x$data.name, "\n\n")
pp <- format.pval(x$p.value, digits, na.form = "-")
attributes(pp) <- attributes(x$p.value)
print(pp, quote = FALSE, ...)
cat("\nP value adjustment method:", x$p.adjust.method, "\n")
invisible(x)
}
Your definition of this method will override the default one, so
defining that function is enough, R will call it for printing.
