New features

  • Inferential layer of the DescToolsX package suite: classical, robust, nonparametric and specialised hypothesis tests, confidence intervals for the common estimands, and probability distributions not available in base R.
  • Tests return ordinary "htest" objects, so they print and combine like the procedures in base R.
  • Confidence intervals follow one argument convention throughout (conf.level, sides, method), across proportions, counts, location, scale and correlation.
  • bootCI() provides bootstrap intervals for arbitrary statistics; the resampling is implemented in C++ via Rcpp, RcppArmadillo and RcppParallel.
  • postHoc() collects the post-hoc procedures for multiple comparisons behind one interface, with a plot method for the resulting intervals.
