bruceR

BRoadly Useful Convenient and Efficient R functions that BRing Users Concise and Elegant R data analyses.

This package includes easy-to-use functions for:

  1. Basic R programming (e.g., set working directory to the path of currently opened file; import/export data from/to files in any format; print tables to Microsoft Word);
  2. Multivariate computation (e.g., compute scale sums/means/... with reverse scoring);
  3. Reliability analyses and factor analyses (PCA, EFA, CFA);
  4. Descriptive statistics and correlation analyses;
  5. t-test, multi-factor analysis of variance (ANOVA), simple-effect analysis, and post-hoc multiple comparison;
  6. Tidy report of statistical models (to R Console and Microsoft Word);
  7. Mediation and moderation analyses (PROCESS);
  8. Additional toolbox for statistics and graphics.
