Package 'statsExpressions'

Title: Tidy Dataframes and Expressions with Statistical Details
Description: Utilities for producing dataframes with rich details for the most common types of statistical approaches and tests: parametric, nonparametric, robust, and Bayesian t-test, one-way ANOVA, correlation analyses, contingency table analyses, and meta-analyses. The functions are pipe-friendly and provide a consistent syntax to work with tidy data. These dataframes additionally contain expressions with statistical details, and can be used in graphing packages. This package also forms the statistical processing backend for 'ggstatsplot'.

Template for expressions with statistical details

Description

Creates an expression from a data frame containing statistical details. Ideally, this data frame would come from having run tidy_model_parameters() on your model object.

This function is currently not stable and should not be used outside of this package context.

Usage

add_expression_col(
  data,
  paired = FALSE,
  statistic.text = NULL,
  effsize.text = NULL,
  prior.type = NULL,
  n = NULL,
  n.text = ifelse(paired, list(quote(italic("n")["pairs"])),
    list(quote(italic("n")["obs"]))),
  digits = 2L,
  digits.df = 0L,
  digits.df.error = digits.df,
  ...
)

Arguments

data

A data frame containing details from the statistical analysis and should contain some or all of the the following columns:

  • statistic: the numeric value of a statistic.

  • df.error: the numeric value of a parameter being modeled (often degrees of freedom for the test); irrelevant. if there are no degrees of freedom.

  • df: relevant if the statistic in question has two degrees of freedom.

  • p.value: the two-sided p-value associated with observed statistic.

  • method: method describing the test carried out.

  • effectsize: name of the effect size (if not present, same as method).

  • estimate: estimated value of the effect size.

  • conf.level: width for the confidence intervals.

  • conf.low: lower bound for effect size estimate.

  • conf.high: upper bound for effect size estimate.

  • bf10: Bayes Factor value (if bayesian = TRUE).

paired

Logical that decides whether the experimental design is repeated measures/within-subjects or between-subjects. The default is FALSE.

statistic.text

A character that specifies the relevant test statistic. For example, for tests with t-statistic, statistic.text = "t".

effsize.text

A character that specifies the relevant effect size.

prior.type

The type of prior.

n

An integer specifying the sample size used for the test.

n.text

A character that specifies the design, which will determine what the n stands for. It defaults to quote(italic("n")["pairs"]) if paired = TRUE, and to quote(italic("n")["obs"]) if paired = FALSE. If you wish to customize this further, you will need to provide object of language type.

digits, digits.df, digits.df.error

Number of decimal places to display for the parameters (default: 0L).

Edgar Anderson's Iris Data in long format.

Description

Edgar Anderson's Iris Data in long format.

Usage

iris_long

Format

A data frame with 600 rows and 5 variables

  • id. Dummy identity number for each flower (150 flowers in total).

  • Species. The species are Iris setosa, versicolor, and virginica.

  • condition. Factor giving a detailed description of the attribute (Four levels: "Petal.Length", "Petal.Width", "Sepal.Length", "Sepal.Width").

  • attribute. What attribute is being measured ("Sepal" or "Pepal").

  • measure. What aspect of the attribute is being measured ("Length" or "Width").

  • value. Value of the measurement.

Details

This famous (Fisher's or Anderson's) iris data set gives the measurements in centimeters of the variables sepal length and width and petal length and width, respectively, for 50 flowers from each of 3 species of iris. The species are Iris setosa, versicolor, and virginica.

This is a modified dataset from {datasets} package.

Examples

dim(iris_long)
head(iris_long)
dplyr::glimpse(iris_long)

Convert long/tidy data frame to wide format

Description

This conversion is helpful mostly for repeated measures design, where removing NAs by participant can be a bit tedious.

Usage

long_to_wide_converter(
  data,
  x,
  y,
  subject.id = NULL,
  paired = TRUE,
  spread = TRUE,
  ...
)

Arguments

data

A data frame (or a tibble) from which variables specified are to be taken. Other data types (e.g., matrix,table, array, etc.) will not be accepted. Additionally, grouped data frames from {dplyr} should be ungrouped before they are entered as data.

x

The grouping (or independent) variable from data. In case of a repeated measures or within-subjects design, if subject.id argument is not available or not explicitly specified, the function assumes that the data has already been sorted by such an id by the user and creates an internal identifier. So if your data is not sorted, the results can be inaccurate when there are more than two levels in x and there are NAs present. The data is expected to be sorted by user in subject-1, subject-2, ..., pattern.

y

The response (or outcome or dependent) variable from data.

subject.id

Relevant in case of a repeated measures or within-subjects design (paired = TRUE, i.e.), it specifies the subject or repeated measures identifier. Important: Note that if this argument is NULL (which is the default), the function assumes that the data has already been sorted by such an id by the user and creates an internal identifier. So if your data is not sorted and you leave this argument unspecified, the results can be inaccurate when there are more than two levels in x and there are NAs present.

paired

Logical that decides whether the experimental design is repeated measures/within-subjects or between-subjects. The default is FALSE.

spread

Logical that decides whether the data frame needs to be converted from long/tidy to wide (default: TRUE).

...

Currently ignored.

Value

A data frame with NAs removed while respecting the between-or-within-subjects nature of the dataset.

One-sample tests

Description

Parametric, non-parametric, robust, and Bayesian one-sample tests.

Usage

one_sample_test(
  data,
  x,
  type = "parametric",
  test.value = 0,
  alternative = "two.sided",
  digits = 2L,
  conf.level = 0.95,
  tr = 0.2,
  bf.prior = 0.707,
  effsize.type = "g",
  ...
)

Arguments

data

A data frame (or a tibble) from which variables specified are to be taken. Other data types (e.g., matrix,table, array, etc.) will not be accepted. Additionally, grouped data frames from {dplyr} should be ungrouped before they are entered as data.

x

A numeric variable from the data frame data.

type

A character specifying the type of statistical approach:

  • "parametric"

  • "nonparametric"

  • "robust"

  • "bayes"

You can specify just the initial letter.

test.value

A number indicating the true value of the mean (Default: 0).

alternative

a character string specifying the alternative hypothesis, must be one of "two.sided" (default), "greater" or "less". You can specify just the initial letter.

digits

Number of digits for rounding or significant figures. May also be "signif" to return significant figures or "scientific" to return scientific notation. Control the number of digits by adding the value as suffix, e.g. digits = "scientific4" to have scientific notation with 4 decimal places, or digits = "signif5" for 5 significant figures (see also signif()).

conf.level

Scalar between 0 and 1 (default: ⁠95%⁠ confidence/credible intervals, 0.95). If NULL, no confidence intervals will be computed.

tr

Trim level for the mean when carrying out robust tests. In case of an error, try reducing the value of tr, which is by default set to 0.2. Lowering the value might help.

bf.prior

A number between 0.5 and 2 (default 0.707), the prior width to use in calculating Bayes factors and posterior estimates. In addition to numeric arguments, several named values are also recognized: "medium", "wide", and "ultrawide", corresponding to r scale values of 1/2, sqrt(2)/2, and 1, respectively. In case of an ANOVA, this value corresponds to scale for fixed effects.

effsize.type

Type of effect size needed for parametric tests. The argument can be "d" (for Cohen's d) or "g" (for Hedge's g).

...

Currently ignored.

Value

The returned tibble data frame can contain some or all of the following columns (the exact columns will depend on the statistical test):

  • statistic: the numeric value of a statistic

  • df: the numeric value of a parameter being modeled (often degrees of freedom for the test)

  • df.error and df: relevant only if the statistic in question has two degrees of freedom (e.g. anova)

  • p.value: the two-sided p-value associated with the observed statistic

  • method: the name of the inferential statistical test

  • estimate: estimated value of the effect size

  • conf.low: lower bound for the effect size estimate

  • conf.high: upper bound for the effect size estimate

  • conf.level: width of the confidence interval

  • conf.method: method used to compute confidence interval

  • conf.distribution: statistical distribution for the effect

  • effectsize: the name of the effect size

  • n.obs: number of observations

  • expression: pre-formatted expression containing statistical details

For examples, see data frame output vignette.

One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA)

Description

Parametric, non-parametric, robust, and Bayesian one-way ANOVA.

Usage

oneway_anova(
  data,
  x,
  y,
  subject.id = NULL,
  type = "parametric",
  paired = FALSE,
  digits = 2L,
  conf.level = 0.95,
  effsize.type = "omega",
  var.equal = FALSE,
  bf.prior = 0.707,
  tr = 0.2,
  nboot = 100L,
  ...
)

Arguments

data

A data frame (or a tibble) from which variables specified are to be taken. Other data types (e.g., matrix,table, array, etc.) will not be accepted. Additionally, grouped data frames from {dplyr} should be ungrouped before they are entered as data.

x

The grouping (or independent) variable from data. In case of a repeated measures or within-subjects design, if subject.id argument is not available or not explicitly specified, the function assumes that the data has already been sorted by such an id by the user and creates an internal identifier. So if your data is not sorted, the results can be inaccurate when there are more than two levels in x and there are NAs present. The data is expected to be sorted by user in subject-1, subject-2, ..., pattern.

y

The response (or outcome or dependent) variable from data.

subject.id

Relevant in case of a repeated measures or within-subjects design (paired = TRUE, i.e.), it specifies the subject or repeated measures identifier. Important: Note that if this argument is NULL (which is the default), the function assumes that the data has already been sorted by such an id by the user and creates an internal identifier. So if your data is not sorted and you leave this argument unspecified, the results can be inaccurate when there are more than two levels in x and there are NAs present.

type

A character specifying the type of statistical approach:

  • "parametric"

  • "nonparametric"

  • "robust"

  • "bayes"

You can specify just the initial letter.

paired

Logical that decides whether the experimental design is repeated measures/within-subjects or between-subjects. The default is FALSE.

digits

Number of digits for rounding or significant figures. May also be "signif" to return significant figures or "scientific" to return scientific notation. Control the number of digits by adding the value as suffix, e.g. digits = "scientific4" to have scientific notation with 4 decimal places, or digits = "signif5" for 5 significant figures (see also signif()).

conf.level

Scalar between 0 and 1 (default: ⁠95%⁠ confidence/credible intervals, 0.95). If NULL, no confidence intervals will be computed.

effsize.type

Type of effect size needed for parametric tests. The argument can be "eta" (partial eta-squared) or "omega" (partial omega-squared).

var.equal

a logical variable indicating whether to treat the two variances as being equal. If TRUE then the pooled variance is used to estimate the variance otherwise the Welch (or Satterthwaite) approximation to the degrees of freedom is used.

bf.prior

A number between 0.5 and 2 (default 0.707), the prior width to use in calculating Bayes factors and posterior estimates. In addition to numeric arguments, several named values are also recognized: "medium", "wide", and "ultrawide", corresponding to r scale values of 1/2, sqrt(2)/2, and 1, respectively. In case of an ANOVA, this value corresponds to scale for fixed effects.

tr

Trim level for the mean when carrying out robust tests. In case of an error, try reducing the value of tr, which is by default set to 0.2. Lowering the value might help.

nboot

Number of bootstrap samples for computing confidence interval for the effect size (Default: 100L).

...

Additional arguments (currently ignored).

Value

The returned tibble data frame can contain some or all of the following columns (the exact columns will depend on the statistical test):

  • statistic: the numeric value of a statistic

  • df: the numeric value of a parameter being modeled (often degrees of freedom for the test)

  • df.error and df: relevant only if the statistic in question has two degrees of freedom (e.g. anova)

  • p.value: the two-sided p-value associated with the observed statistic

Description

Expressions with statistics for tidy regression data frames

Usage

tidy_model_expressions(
  data,
  statistic = NULL,
  digits = 2L,
  effsize.type = "omega",
  ...
)

Arguments

data

A tidy data frame from regression model object (see tidy_model_parameters()).

statistic

Which statistic is to be displayed (either "t" or "f"or "z" or "chi") in the expression.

digits

Number of digits for rounding or significant figures. May also be "signif" to return significant figures or "scientific" to return scientific notation. Control the number of digits by adding the value as suffix, e.g. digits = "scientific4" to have scientific notation with 4 decimal places, or digits = "signif5" for 5 significant figures (see also signif()).

effsize.type

Type of effect size needed for parametric tests. The argument can be "eta" (partial eta-squared) or "omega" (partial omega-squared).

...

Currently ignored.

Details

When any of the necessary numeric column values (estimate, statistic, p.value) are missing, for these rows, a NULL is returned instead of an expression with empty strings.

Convert {parameters} package output to {tidyverse} conventions

Description

Convert {parameters} package output to {tidyverse} conventions

Usage

tidy_model_parameters(model, ...)

Arguments

model

Statistical Model.

...

Arguments passed to or from other methods. Non-documented arguments are digits, p_digits, ci_digits and footer_digits to set the number of digits for the output. If s_value = TRUE, the p-value will be replaced by the S-value in the output (cf. Rafi and Greenland 2020). pd adds an additional column with the probability of direction (see bayestestR::p_direction() for details). groups can be used to group coefficients. It will be passed to the print-method, or can directly be used in print(), see documentation in print.parameters_model(). Furthermore, see 'Examples' in model_parameters.default(). For developers, whose interest mainly is to get a "tidy" data frame of model summaries, it is recommended to set pretty_names = FALSE to speed up computation of the summary table.

Parametric, non-parametric, robust, and Bayesian two-sample tests.

Usage

two_sample_test(
  data,
  x,
  y,
  subject.id = NULL,
  type = "parametric",
  paired = FALSE,
  alternative = "two.sided",
  digits = 2L,

  effsize.type = "g",
  var.equal = FALSE,
  bf.prior = 0.707,
  tr = 0.2,
  nboot = 100L,
  ...
)

Arguments

data

A data frame (or a tibble) from which variables specified are to be taken. Other data types (e.g., matrix,table, array, etc.) will not be accepted. Additionally, grouped data frames from {dplyr} should be ungrouped before they are entered as data.

x

The grouping (or independent) variable from data. In case of a repeated measures or within-subjects design, if subject.id argument is not available or not explicitly specified, the function assumes that the data has already been sorted by such an id by the user and creates an internal identifier. So if your data is not sorted, the results can be inaccurate when there are more than two levels in x and there are NAs present. The data is expected to be sorted by user in subject-1, subject-2, ..., pattern.

y

The response (or outcome or dependent) variable from data.

subject.id

Relevant in case of a repeated measures or within-subjects design (paired = TRUE, i.e.), it specifies the subject or repeated measures identifier. Important: Note that if this argument is NULL (which is the default), the function assumes that the data has already been sorted by such an id by the user and creates an internal identifier. So if your data is not sorted and you leave this argument unspecified, the results can be inaccurate when there are more than two levels in x and there are NAs present.

type

A character specifying the type of statistical approach:

  • "parametric"

  • "nonparametric"

  • "robust"

  • "bayes"

You can specify just the initial letter.

paired

Logical that decides whether the experimental design is repeated measures/within-subjects or between-subjects. The default is FALSE.

alternative

a character string specifying the alternative hypothesis, must be one of "two.sided" (default), "greater" or "less". You can specify just the initial letter.

digits

Number of digits for rounding or significant figures. May also be "signif" to return significant figures or "scientific" to return scientific notation. Control the number of digits by adding the value as suffix, e.g. digits = "scientific4" to have scientific notation with 4 decimal places, or digits = "signif5" for 5 significant figures (see also signif()).

conf.level

Scalar between 0 and 1 (default: ⁠95%⁠ confidence/credible intervals, 0.95). If NULL, no confidence intervals will be computed.

effsize.type

Type of effect size needed for parametric tests. The argument can be "d" (for Cohen's d) or "g" (for Hedge's g).

var.equal

a logical variable indicating whether to treat the two variances as being equal. If TRUE then the pooled variance is used to estimate the variance otherwise the Welch (or Satterthwaite) approximation to the degrees of freedom is used.

bf.prior

A number between 0.5 and 2 (default 0.707), the prior width to use in calculating Bayes factors and posterior estimates. In addition to numeric arguments, several named values are also recognized: "medium", "wide", and "ultrawide", corresponding to r scale values of 1/2, sqrt(2)/2, and 1, respectively. In case of an ANOVA, this value corresponds to scale for fixed effects.

tr

Trim level for the mean when carrying out robust tests. In case of an error, try reducing the value of tr, which is by default set to 0.2. Lowering the value might help.

nboot

Number of bootstrap samples for computing confidence interval for the effect size (Default: 100L).

...

Currently ignored.

Value

The returned tibble data frame can contain some or all of the following columns (the exact columns will depend on the statistical test):

  • statistic: the numeric value of a statistic

  • df: the numeric value of a parameter being modeled (often degrees of freedom for the test)

  • df.error and df: relevant only if the statistic in question has two degrees of freedom (e.g. anova)

  • p.value: the two-sided p-value associated with the observed statistic

  • method: the name of the inferential statistical test

  • estimate: estimated value of the effect size

  • conf.low: lower bound for the effect size estimate

  • conf.high: upper bound for the effect size estimate

  • conf.level: width of the confidence interval

  • conf.method: method used to compute confidence interval

  • conf.distribution: statistical distribution for the effect

  • effectsize: the name of the effect size

  • n.obs: number of observations

  • expression: pre-formatted expression containing statistical details

For examples, see data frame output vignette.
