prmisc:Miscellaneous Printing of Numeric and Statistical Output in R
Markdown and Quarto Documents
Miscellaneous printing of numeric or statistical results in R Markdown or Quarto documents according to guidelines of
the "Publication Manual" of the American Psychological
Association (2020, ISBN: 978-1-4338-3215-4). These guidelines
are usually referred to as APA style
(<https://apastyle.apa.org/>) and include specific rules on the
formatting of numbers and statistical test results. APA style
has to be implemented when submitting scientific reports in a
wide range of research fields, especially in the social
sciences. The default output of numbers in the R console or R
Markdown and Quarto documents does not meet the APA style
requirements, and reformatting results manually can be
cumbersome and error-prone. This package covers the automatic
conversion of R objects to textual representations that meet
the APA style requirements, which can be included in R Markdown
or Quarto documents. It covers some basic statistical tests
(t-test, ANOVA, correlation, chi-squared test, Wilcoxon test)
as well as some basic number printing manipulations (formatting
p-values, removing leading zeros for numbers that cannot be
greater than one, and others). Other packages exist for
formatting numbers and tests according to the APA style
guidelines, such as 'papaja'
(<https://cran.r-project.org/package=papaja>) and 'apa'
(<https://cran.r-project.org/package=apa>), but they do not
offer all convenience functionality included in 'prmisc'. The
vignette has an overview of most of the functions included in
the package.
