style.apa.cor.test: Formats a Correlation Between Paired Samples

In pubprint: Printing Results of Statistical Computing in a Publishable Way

Description

This style functions takes a correlation test (htest class) from cor.test and transforms it into a formatted character vector, including p value. Statistics are printed optionally (not by default).

Usage

style.apa.cor.test(x, print.statistic = FALSE)

Arguments

x	a list. First item must be a correlation test (htest class) from cor.test. All other list items will be ignored.
print.statistic	a logical, indicating whether test statistic is printed as well. Corresponding p value is always printed.

Details

Please note that this is a internal style function. It is called from pprint and not exported to user namespace. Usually pprint determines the correct style function automatically, but you can define the style function by using the format argument of pprint (pass the name of this function without style.apa. prefix). Additionally you can pass the arguments listed in this documentation to pprint.

Argument x of this function expects a list. Be aware that you do not have to pass a list to pprint or pull.pubprint – these functions will convert your arguments. This is only necessary if you want to pass additionally information to the internal style functions (see vignette for examples).

Value

character vector with a formatted character vector.
