The lsr package provide a few tools that are useful for students new both to statistics and to R. For example, it includes separate wrapper functions for independent samples t-tests and paired samples t-test, each of which produce output that state the null and alternative hypotheses in a verbose fashion. Other tools are provided to assist students with data manipulation.
WARNING: This package is still under development. The functions work for most situations that I envisage them being used for, but some extensions are planned. In particular, for the moment there are no guarantees of backwards compatibility. Until this notice disappears some care is advised.
