extract_stats_type: Switch the type of statistics.

In statsExpressions: Tidy Dataframes and Expressions with Statistical Details

Switch the type of statistics.

Description

Relevant mostly for {ggstatsplot} and {statsExpressions} packages, where different statistical approaches are supported via this argument: parametric, non-parametric, robust, and Bayesian. This switch function converts strings entered by users to a common pattern for convenience.

stats_type_switch() is an alias of extract_stats_type().

Usage

extract_stats_type(type)

stats_type_switch(type)

Arguments

type

A character specifying the type of statistical approach: "parametric" "nonparametric" "robust" "bayes" You can specify just the initial letter (e.g. "np" or "bf"). Matching is on the initial lowercase letter only, so any other value (including capitalized values such as "Bayes") falls back to "parametric" without a warning.

Value

A character vector of the same length as type, with values "parametric", "nonparametric", "robust", or "bayes".

Examples

extract_stats_type("p")
extract_stats_type("bf")
extract_stats_type(c("np", "robust", "Bayes"))
