Safestats is for designing and applying
safe hypothesis tests. It can be used for designing
hypothesis tests in the prospective or randomised controlled trial (RCT)
setting, where the tests can be used under optional stopping and
experiments often can be stopped early. The ‘pilot’ functions in the
package also enable using the safe tests in the observational/
retrospective setting. For examples and explanation about which test to
choose for which study setup, our vignette can be used (see
below). The current version includes safe t-tests and tests of two
proportions. The initial paper on the theory of safe testing and a
worked-out example for the t-test can be found in this paper. More on the
theory behind the development of the safe tests for proportions can be
found here. ##
Installation The development version can be found on GitHub, which can
be installed with the devtools package from CRAN by entering
in R:
{r devtools, eval=FALSE} devtools::install_github("AlexanderLyNL/safestats", build_vignettes = TRUE)
Once a stable version is finished, you can install it from CRAN in R
through:
install.packages("safestats")Load the safestats package:
