statcheck (version 1.0.1)

plot.statcheck: Plot method for "statcheck"

Description

Function for plotting of "statcheck" objects. Reported p values are plotted against recalculated p values, which allows the user to easily spot if articles contain miscalculations of statistical results.

Usage

"plot"(x, alpha = 0.05, ...)

Arguments

x
a "statcheck" object. See statcheck.
alpha
assumed level of significance in the scanned texts. Defaults to .05.
...
arguments to be passed to methods, such as graphical parameters (see par).

Details

Inconsistencies between the reported and the recalculated p value are indicated with an orange dot. Recalculations of the p value that render a previously non significant result (p >= .5) as significant (p < .05), and vice versa, are considered gross errors, and are indicated with a red dot. Exactly reported p values (i.e. p = ..., as opposed to p < ... or p > ...) are indicated with a diamond.
