dabestr is a package for Data Analysis using Bootstrap-Coupled ESTimation.
Estimation statistics is a simple framework that avoids the pitfalls of significance testing. It uses familiar statistical concepts: means, mean differences, and error bars. More importantly, it focuses on the effect size of one's experiment/intervention, as opposed to a false dichotomy engendered by P values.
An estimation plot has two key features.
-
It presents all datapoints as a swarmplot, which orders each point to display the underlying distribution.
-
It presents the effect size as a bootstrap 95% confidence interval on a separate but aligned axes.
Your version of R must be 3.5.0 or higher.
