ez (version 4.4-0)

ez-package: Easy analysis and visualization of factorial experiments

Description

This package facilitates easy analysis of factorial experiments, including purely within-Ss designs (a.k.a. “repeated measures”), purely between-Ss designs, and mixed within-and-between-Ss designs. The functions in this package aim to provide simple, intuitive and consistent specification of data analysis and visualization. Visualization functions also include design visualization for pre-analysis data auditing, and correlation matrix visualization. Finally, this package includes functions for non-parametric analysis, including permutation tests and bootstrap resampling. The bootstrap function obtains predictions either by cell means or by more advanced/powerful mixed effects models, yielding predictions and confidence intervals that may be easily visualized at any level of the experiment's design.

This package contains several useful functions:
  • ezANOVA Provides simple interface to ANOVA, including assumption checks.
  • ezBoot Computes bootstrap resampled cell means or lmer predictions
  • ezCor Function to plot a correlation matrix with scatterplots, linear fits, and univariate density plots
  • ezDesign Function to plot a visual representation of the balance of data given a specified experimental design. Useful for diagnosing missing data issues.
  • ezMixed Provides assessment of fixed effects in a mixed effects modelling context.
  • ezPerm Provides simple interface to the Permutation test.
  • ezPlot Uses the ggplot2 graphing package to generate plots for any given user-requested effect, by default producing error bars that facilitate visual post-hoc multiple comparisons.
  • ezPlot2 When supplied the results from a call to ezPredict or ezBoot, plots predictions with confidence intervals.
  • ezPrecis Provides a summary of a given data frame.
  • ezPredict Computes predicted values from the fixed effects of a mixed effects model.
  • ezResample Resamples data, useful when bootstrapping.
  • ezStats Provides between-Ss descriptive statistics for any given user-requested effect. This package also contains two data sets:
  • ANT Simulated data from the Attention Network Test
  • ANT2 Messy version of the ANT data set
