str_strip.white(string, sub = " ")
str_proper(string)
str_remove.nonascii(string, sub = "")
str_remove(string, start = 1L, end = -1L, sub = "")
detect.normality.outliers(x,alpha=0.05)
scale.for.ranks(type = 1, base = 2, silent = TRUE, str.disp.mult=1)

`string`	A character vector.
`start, end`	Location of where to start and end for removing characters.
`x`	A vector of numbers
`alpha`	A significance level.
`type`	Type of scale.
`sub`	What to replace the removed characters with.
`base`	The base to which to scale the total strength. By default it is base(2). You want this to match the base used in your print call.
`silent`	Whether to output the scale to the console (silent=FALSE).
`str.disp.mult`	Multiply the strength numbers in the column names by this number.

str_strip.white strips ending and internal extra white space. str_proper does proper capitalization. str_remove.nonascii remove non-ascii characters from strings. str_remove remove characters from strings. Like sub but removes the specified characters between start and end. detect.normality.outliers detects the values that violate normality to a particular alpha level. scale.for.ranks prints a scale for fbRanks ratings.

str_strip.white returns a vector with the extra white space striped.

detect.normality.outliers returns a vector of TRUE, FALSE values.

scale.for.ranks will return the simulations used to construct the scale if the output is assigned to a variable. team.name.select calls up a GUI that allows the user to select the team name from a list or input a new team name.
