Overview

About

Maintained by Han Wu Shuang BaoFirst published 2021-03-1922 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Broadly useful convenient and efficient R functions that bring users concise and elegant R data analyses. This package includes easy-to-use functions for (1) basic R programming (e.g., set working directory to the path of currently opened file; import/export data from/to files in any format; print tables to Microsoft Word); (2) multivariate computation (e.g., compute scale sums/means/... with reverse scoring); (3) reliability analyses and factor analyses; (4) descriptive statistics and correlation analyses; (5) t-test, multi-factor analysis of variance (ANOVA), simple-effect analysis, and post-hoc multiple comparison; (6) tidy report of statistical models (to R Console and Microsoft Word); (7) mediation and moderation analyses (PROCESS); and (8) additional toolbox for statistics and graphics.
