add_expression_col: 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).

...

Currently ignored.
