library(apa)
The *_apa()
functions help you to format outputs of statistical tests according to guidelines of the APA (American Psychological Association).
The functions take the return value of a test function as the first argument, e.g. a call to chisq.test()
is passed to chisq_apa()
, which returns a formatted string.
The idea of such formatters was introduced in the schoRsch package. apa generalizes this idea by providing formatters for different output formats (text, Markdown, RMarkdown, HTML, LaTeX, LaTeX inline math, docx and R's plotmath syntax).
Currently supported tests are:
t.test
and apa::t_test
)aov
, ez::ezANOVA
, afex::aov_car
, afex::aov_ez
, and afex::aov_4
)chisq.test
)cor.test
)Take the following test of a correlation as an example:
# Data from ?cor.test x <- c(44.4, 45.9, 41.9, 53.3, 44.7, 44.1, 50.7, 45.2, 60.1) y <- c( 2.6, 3.1, 2.5, 5.0, 3.6, 4.0, 5.2, 2.8, 3.8) ct <- cor.test(x, y) ct
Calling cor_apa()
then returns a string ready to copy-and-paste into manuscripts or presentations.
cor_apa(ct)
The format
argument of cor_apa()
allows you to specify the output format, which can be one of "text"
(default), "markdown"
, "rmarkdown"
, "html"
, "latex"
, "latex_math"
, "docx"
or "plotmath"
.
cor_apa(ct, format = "rmarkdown")
Which is printed as r apa(ct)
in a RMarkdown document.
cor_apa(ct, format = "latex")
# Opens a temporary document in your word processor cor_apa(ct, format = "docx")
# Paste output in a plot using R's plotmath syntax plot(x, y) abline(lm(y ~ x)) text(55, 3.9, cor_apa(ct, format = "plotmath"))
