Arguments

data

A dataframe from which variables specified are preferentially to be taken.

x

The grouping variable from the dataframe data.

y

The response (a.k.a. outcome or dependent) variable from the dataframe data.

plot.type

Character describing the type of plot. Currently supported plots are "box" (for pure boxplots), "violin" (for pure violin plots), and "boxviolin" (for a combination of box and violin plots; default).

type

Type of statistic expected ("parametric" or "nonparametric" or "robust" or "bayes").Corresponding abbreviations are also accepted: "p" (for parametric), "np" (nonparametric), "r" (robust), or "bf"resp.

pairwise.comparisons

Logical that decides whether pairwise comparisons are to be displayed. Only significant comparisons will be shown by default. (default: FALSE). To change this behavior, select appropriate option with pairwise.display argument.

pairwise.annotation

Character that decides the annotations to use for pairwise comparisons. Either "p.value" or "asterisk" (default).

pairwise.display

Decides which pairwise comparisons to display. Available options are "significant" (abbreviation accepted: "s") or "non-significant" (abbreviation accepted: "ns") or "everything"/"all". The default is "significant". You can use this argument to make sure that your plot is not uber-cluttered when you have multiple groups being compared and scores of pairwise comparisons being displayed.

p.adjust.method

Adjustment method for p-values for multiple comparisons. Possible methods are: "holm" (default), "hochberg", "hommel", "bonferroni", "BH", "BY", "fdr", "none".

effsize.type

Type of effect size needed for parametric tests. The argument can be "biased" ("d" for Cohen's d for t-test; "partial_eta" for partial eta-squared for anova) or "unbiased" ("g" Hedge's g for t-test; "partial_omega" for partial omega-squared for anova)).

partial

Logical that decides if partial eta-squared or omega-squared are returned (Default: TRUE). If FALSE, eta-squared or omega-squared will be returned. Valid only for objects of class lm, aov, anova, or aovlist.

effsize.noncentral

Logical indicating whether to use non-central t-distributions for computing the confidence interval for Cohen's d or Hedge's g (Default: FALSE).

bf.prior

A number between 0.5 and 2 (default 0.707), the prior width to use in calculating Bayes factors.

bf.message

Logical that decides whether to display Bayes Factor in favor of the null hypothesis for parametric test (Default: FALSE).

results.subtitle

Decides whether the results of statistical tests are to be displayed as a subtitle (Default: TRUE). If set to FALSE, only the plot will be returned.

xlab

Label for x axis variable.

ylab

Label for y axis variable.

caption

The text for the plot caption.

title

The text for the plot title.

subtitle

The text for the plot subtitle. Will work only if results.subtitle = FALSE.

sample.size.label

Logical that decides whether sample size information should be displayed for each level of the grouping variable x (Default: TRUE).

k

Number of digits after decimal point (should be an integer) (Default: k = 2).

var.equal

a logical variable indicating whether to treat the variances in the samples as equal. If TRUE, then a simple F test for the equality of means in a one-way analysis of variance is performed. If FALSE, an approximate method of Welch (1951) is used, which generalizes the commonly known 2-sample Welch test to the case of arbitrarily many samples.

conf.level

A scalar value between 0 and 1. If unspecified, the default is to return 95% lower and upper confidence intervals (0.95).

nboot

Number of bootstrap samples for computing effect size (Default: 100).

tr

Trim level for the mean when carrying out robust tests. If you get error stating "Standard error cannot be computed because of Winsorized variance of 0 (e.g., due to ties). Try to decrease the trimming level.", try to play around with the value of tr, which is by default set to 0.1. Lowering the value might help.

mean.label.size, mean.label.fontface, mean.label.color

Aesthetics for the label displaying mean. Defaults: 3, "bold","black", respectively.

notch

A logical. If FALSE (default), a standard box plot will be displayed. If TRUE, a notched box plot will be used. Notches are used to compare groups; if the notches of two boxes do not overlap, this suggests that the medians are significantly different. In a notched box plot, the notches extend 1.58 * IQR / sqrt(n). This gives a roughly 95% confidence interval for comparing medians. IQR: Inter-Quartile Range.

notchwidth

For a notched box plot, width of the notch relative to the body (default 0.5).

linetype

Character strings ("blank", "solid", "dashed", "dotted", "dotdash", "longdash", and "twodash") specifying the type of line to draw box plots (Default: "solid"). Alternatively, the numbers 0 to 6 can be used (0 for "blank", 1 for "solid", etc.).

outlier.tagging

Decides whether outliers should be tagged (Default: FALSE).

outlier.shape

Hiding the outliers can be achieved by setting outlier.shape = NA. Importantly, this does not remove the outliers, it only hides them, so the range calculated for the y-axis will be the same with outliers shown and outliers hidden.

outlier.label

Label to put on the outliers that have been tagged.

outlier.label.color

Color for the label to to put on the outliers that have been tagged (Default: "black").

outlier.color

Default aesthetics for outliers (Default: "black").

outlier.coef

Coefficient for outlier detection using Tukey's method. With Tukey's method, outliers are below (1st Quartile) or above (3rd Quartile) outlier.coef times the Inter-Quartile Range (IQR) (Default: 1.5).

mean.plotting

Logical that decides whether mean is to be highlighted and its value to be displayed (Default: TRUE).

mean.ci

Logical that decides whether 95 is to be displayed (Default: FALSE).

mean.size

Point size for the data point corresponding to mean (Default: 5).

mean.color

Color for the data point corresponding to mean (Default: "darkred").

point.jitter.width

Numeric specifying the degree of jitter in x direction. Defaults to 40% of the resolution of the data.

point.jitter.height

Numeric specifying the degree of jitter in y direction. Defaults to 0.1.

point.dodge.width

Numeric specifying the amount to dodge in the x direction. Defaults to 0.60.

ggtheme

A function, ggplot2 theme name. Default value is ggplot2::theme_bw(). Any of the ggplot2 themes, or themes from extension packages are allowed (e.g., ggthemes::theme_economist(), hrbrthemes::theme_ipsum_ps(), ggthemes::theme_fivethirtyeight(), etc.).

ggstatsplot.layer

Logical that decides whether theme_ggstatsplot theme elements are to be displayed along with the selected ggtheme (Default: TRUE).

package

Name of package from which the palette is desired as string or symbol.

palette

If a character string (e.g., "Set1"), will use that named palette. If a number, will index into the list of palettes of appropriate type. Default palette is "Dark2".

direction

Either 1 or -1. If -1 the palette will be reversed.

ggplot.component

A ggplot component to be added to the plot prepared by ggstatsplot. This argument is primarily helpful for grouped_ variant of the current function. Default is NULL. The argument should be entered as a function.

messages

Decides whether messages references, notes, and warnings are to be displayed (Default: TRUE).

Details

For parametric tests, Welch's ANOVA/t-test are used as a default (i.e., var.equal = FALSE). References:

  • ANOVA: Delacre, Leys, Mora, & Lakens, PsyArXiv, 2018

  • t-test: Delacre, Lakens, & Leys, International Review of Social Psychology, 2017

If robust tests are selected, following tests are used is .

  • ANOVA: one-way ANOVA on trimmed means (see ?WRS2::t1way)

  • t-test: Yuen's test for trimmed means (see ?WRS2::yuen)

Variant of this function ggwithinstats is currently in progress. You can still use this function just to prepare the plot for exploratory data analysis, but the statistical details displayed in the subtitle will be incorrect. You can remove them by adding + ggplot2::labs(subtitle = NULL).
