lessR: Less Code with More Comprehensive Results

Each function replaces multiple standard R functions. For example, two function calls, Read() and CountAll(), generate summary statistics for all variables in the data frame, plus histograms and bar charts. Other functions provide data aggregation via pivot tables; comprehensive regression, ANOVA, and t-test; visualizations including integrated Violin/Box/Scatter plot for a numerical variable, bar chart, histogram, box plot, density curves, calibrated power curve; reading multiple data formats with the same call; variable labels; time series with aggregation and forecasting; color themes; and Trellis (facet) graphics. Also includes a confirmatory factor analysis of multiple-indicator measurement models, pedagogical routines for data simulation (e.g., Central Limit Theorem), generation and rendering of regression instructions for interpretative output, and both interactive construction of visualizations and interactive visualizations with plotly.
