In rstatix: Pipe-Friendly Framework for Basic Statistical Tests

rstatix

Provides a simple and intuitive pipe-friendly framework, coherent with the ‘tidyverse’ design philosophy, for performing basic statistical tests, including t-test, Wilcoxon test, ANOVA, Kruskal-Wallis and correlation analyses.

The output of each test is automatically transformed into a tidy data frame to facilitate visualization.

Additional functions are available for reshaping, reordering, manipulating and visualizing correlation matrix. Functions are also included to facilitate the analysis of factorial experiments, including purely ‘within-Ss’ designs (repeated measures), purely ‘between-Ss’ designs, and mixed ‘within-and-between-Ss’ designs.

It’s also possible to compute several effect size metrics, including “eta squared” for ANOVA, “Cohen’s d” for t-test and “Cramer’s V” for the association between categorical variables. The package contains helper functions for identifying univariate and multivariate outliers, assessing normality and homogeneity of variances.

get_summary_stats(): Compute summary statistics for one or multiple numeric variables. Can handle grouped data.
freq_table(): Compute frequency table of categorical variables.
get_mode(): Compute the mode of a vector, that is the most frequent values.
identify_outliers(): Detect univariate outliers using boxplot methods.
mahalanobis_distance(): Compute Mahalanobis Distance and Flag Multivariate Outliers.

To compare the means of two groups, you can use either the function t_test() (parametric) or wilcox_test() (non-parametric). In the following example the t-test will be illustrated.

Preparing the demo data set:

df <- ToothGrowth
df$dose <- as.factor(df$dose)
head(df)
#>    len supp dose
#> 1  4.2   VC  0.5
#> 2 11.5   VC  0.5
#> 3  7.3   VC  0.5
#> 4  5.8   VC  0.5
#> 5  6.4   VC  0.5
#> 6 10.0   VC  0.5

The one-sample test is used to compare the mean of one sample to a known standard (or theoretical / hypothetical) mean (mu).

df %>% t_test(len ~ 1, mu = 0)
#> # A tibble: 1 × 7
#>   .y.   group1 group2         n statistic    df        p
#> * <chr> <chr>  <chr>      <int>     <dbl> <dbl>    <dbl>
#> 1 len   1      null model    60      19.1    59 6.94e-27
# One-sample test of each dose level
df %>% 
  group_by(dose) %>%
  t_test(len ~ 1, mu = 0)
#> # A tibble: 3 × 8
#>   dose  .y.   group1 group2         n statistic    df        p
#> * <fct> <chr> <chr>  <chr>      <int>     <dbl> <dbl>    <dbl>

#> 2 1     len   1      null model    20      20.0    19 3.22e-14
#> 3 2     len   1      null model    20      30.9    19 1.03e-17

Create a simple box plot with p-values:

# T-test
stat.test <- df %>% 
  t_test(len ~ supp, paired = FALSE) 
stat.test
#> # A tibble: 1 × 8
#>   .y.   group1 group2    n1    n2 statistic    df      p
#> * <chr> <chr>  <chr>  <int> <int>     <dbl> <dbl>  <dbl>
#> 1 len   OJ     VC        30    30      1.92  55.3 0.0606

# Create a box plot
p <- ggboxplot(
  df, x = "supp", y = "len", 
  color = "supp", palette = "jco", ylim = c(0,40)
  )
# Add the p-value manually
p + stat_pvalue_manual(stat.test, label = "p", y.position = 35)

Customize labels using glue expression:

p +stat_pvalue_manual(stat.test, label = "T-test, p = {p}", 
                      y.position = 36)

Grouped data: compare supp levels after grouping the data by “dose”

  group_by(dose) %>%
  t_test(len ~ supp) %>%
  adjust_pvalue() %>%
  add_significance("p.adj")
