Computes posterior predictive p-value

        Parameters
        ----------
        nsims : int (default : 1000)
            How many draws for the PPC

        T : function
            A discrepancy measure - e.g. np.mean, np.std, np.max

        Returns
        ----------
        - float (posterior predictive p-value)
