Overview

About

Maintained by James WitnauerFirst published 2026-03-164 releasesCRAN page ↗

Provides instructional datasets and simple wrapper functions for selected analyses used in 'Essentials of Statistics for the Behavioral Sciences' (Gravetter et al., 2026). The package is intended to support textbook examples by distributing data in a form that is easy for students and instructors to access within R. Current functionality includes packaged datasets and convenience wrappers for functions from 'ez', 'pwr', and 'WebPower' for analysis of variance and statistical power calculations.

sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-essentialstools

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager
