custom_stat: Create a custom statistic

Description

custom_stat() is used together with the custom_stats() function to add statistics from unsupported functions via add_stats(). See the custom_stats() function for more information.

Usage

custom_stat(
  name,
  value,
  symbol = NULL,
  subscript = NULL,
  interval = NULL,
  level = NULL,
  lower = NULL,
  upper = NULL
)

Arguments

name

A string specifying the name of the statistic.

value

The numeric value of the statistic.

symbol

A string specifying the symbol of the statistic to use when reporting the statistic.

subscript

A string specifying a subscript to use when reporting the statistic.

interval

A string specifying the type of interval if the statistic is a ranged statistic (e.g., 95% confidence interval)

level

A numeric value between 0 and 1 indicating the level of the interval.

lower

The numeric value of the lower bound of the statistic.

upper

The numeric value of the upper bound of the statistic.

Examples

# Example 1: A single mean value
sample <- rnorm(1000, mean = 0, sd = 1)
mean <- mean(sample)

custom_stat(name = "mean", value = mean, symbol = "M")

# Example 2: A mean with a 95% confidence interval
sample <- rnorm(1000, mean = 0, sd = 1)
mean <- mean(sample)
se <- sd(sample) / sqrt(length(sample))
CI <- c(mean - 1.96 * se, mean + 1.96 * se)

custom_stat(
  name = "mean",
  value = mean,
  symbol = "M",
  interval = "CI",
  level = .95,
  lower = CI[1],
  upper = CI[2]
)
