In psre: Presenting Statistical Results Effectively

## The psre package must be installed first.  
## You can do this with the following code
# install.packages("remotes")
# remotes::install_github('davidaarmstrong/psre')
## load packages
library(tidyverse)
library(psre)
library(ggeffects)
library(factorplot)
library(qvcalc)

## load data from psre package
