About

Maintained by Denis CousineauFirst published 2021-03-2013 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Computes standard error and confidence interval of various descriptive statistics under various designs and sampling schemes. The main function, superb(), return a plot. It can also be used to obtain a dataframe with the statistics and their precision intervals so that other plotting environments (e.g., Excel) can be used. See Cousineau and colleagues (2021) doi:10.1177/25152459211035109 or Cousineau (2017) doi:10.5709/acp-0214-z for a review as well as Cousineau (2005) doi:10.20982/tqmp.01.1.p042, Morey (2008) doi:10.20982/tqmp.04.2.p061, Baguley (2012) doi:10.3758/s13428-011-0123-7, Cousineau & Laurencelle (2016) doi:10.1037/met0000055, Cousineau & O'Brien (2014) doi:10.3758/s13428-013-0441-z, Calderini & Harding doi:10.20982/tqmp.15.1.p001 for specific references.

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("superb", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("dcousin3/superb")

Development version from dcousin3/superb. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-superb

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-superb

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

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

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-superb
