R help - Feb 2005 - Is there a way to specify different significance levels in jarque.bera.test()?

Dear List:

I am trying to understand how to use the
jarque.bera.test() function of the "tseries" package. 
A numeric vector or time series seems to be the only
argument required.  What is the default significance
level for rejecting the null of normality? 
Is there a way to specify different significance
levels?

platform i386-pc-mingw32
arch     i386           
os       mingw32        
system   i386, mingw32  
status                  
major    2              
minor    0.0            
year     2004           
month    10             
day      04             
language R

?????

It gives you the p-value! So you don't need to specify any significance 
level \alpha. You can reject if p < \alpha for arbitrary (fixed) values 
of \alpha.
