The Ktest function in the dbmss package returns:

the risk to reject CSR erroneously, based on the distribution of the K function

Below that (as far as I understand) it states that this risk is a p-value. How is "risk" to be interpreted? Can I always equate risk with probability? Is the risk always a p-value?

    The risk is explained in the quotation: it is the chance that the CSR hypothesis will be rejected. It is not a p-value, because the p-value is specific to the dataset whereas the risk (as defined in the quotation) is a property of the underlying process. Presumably, this function can only *estimate* that risk (most likely *via* simulation). For an authoritative answer, consult the documentation. – whuber Jul 07 '20 at 13:21
  • "*it is the chance that the CSR hypothesis will be rejected*", is the *chance* not a probability? – Gabriel Jul 07 '20 at 13:44

    Yes, a chance is a probability. – whuber Jul 08 '20 at 14:17
