  <dc:title>Design, Measurement, and Analysis in R (DMAR)</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package DMAR version 1.0.0</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Methods for design, measurement, and analysis, with the
    aim of being user friendly yet methodologically sound. 'DMAR' (pronounced "Dee-Mar") implements
    many advanced and nonstandard methods and makes them available for
    straightforward use, with interfaces, defaults, and documentation
    that are consistent across the package and grounded in the
    methodological literature, in support of sound and reproducible
    results. The package
    emphasizes effect size estimation with confidence intervals;
    sample size planning through accuracy in parameter estimation
    (AIPE) and power analysis (including composite power for designs
    whose conclusions require several results to hold at once), with
    minimum risk, sequential, and equivalence frameworks; reliability,
    agreement, and measurement more broadly, from coefficient omega
    with confidence intervals to measurement invariance; factor
    analysis and structural equation modeling, in which constructs,
    latent variables measured by multiple indicators, are modeled
    directly, with confirmatory factor analysis, convergent and
    discriminant validity, and sample size planning for structural
    equation models; mediation analysis, from the
    simple mediation model with bootstrap intervals to likelihood
    ratio tests of arbitrary indirect effects by model-based
    constrained optimization (MBCO), with multiple groups and the probing of
    moderated mediation; equivalence and noninferiority testing;
    meta-analysis; repeated measures, multivariate, ANOVA, and ANCOVA
    designs; and inference grounded in model comparison throughout.
    Measurement is approached from a psychometric perspective, and
    although many of the methods grew up in human-centered research,
    they apply broadly across the empirical sciences.
    Much of what is implemented traces to the author's methodological
    work, interests, and collaborations. 'DMAR' is a more modern, more general,
    and greatly expanded reimagining of the 'MBESS' package (Kelley,
    2007a, &lt;doi:10.18637/jss.v020.i08&gt;; 2007b,
    &lt;doi:10.3758/BF03192993&gt;), which has been on CRAN for more than
    two decades and remains available there in stable form. Most functions accept either
    raw data or the summary statistics typically reported in published
    articles, so an analysis can be reproduced from a paper without
    the original data, which is useful both for extending a published
    analysis and for meta-analytic work. The estimation, inference,
    and planning functions return one consistently formatted data
    frame per function that composes with the broader R ecosystem, and
    confidence intervals are reported alongside effect sizes
    throughout, as best practice recommends. Researchers who have data
    and a question but who are not R experts will find the package
    approachable, while methodologists gain access to advanced and
    nonstandard methods, including tables of critical values not
    available elsewhere.</dc:description>
