We published an accompanying paper to illustrate the use of p-value functions:
Infanger D, Schmidt-Trucksäss A. (2019): P value functions: An underused method to present research results and to promote quantitative reasoning. Statistics in Medicine. 38: 4189-4197. doi: 10.1002/sim.8293.
The code and instructions to reproduce all graphics in our paper can be found in the following GitHub repository: https://github.com/DInfanger/pvalue_functions
This is the repository for the R-package pvaluefunctions.
The package contains R functions to create graphics of p-value
functions, confidence distributions, confidence densities, or the Surprisal value
(S-value) (Greenland 2019).
You can install the package directly from CRAN by typing
install.packages("pvaluefunctions"). After installation,
load it in R using library(pvaluefunctions).
The function depends on the following R packages, which need to be installed beforehand:
Use the command
install.packages(c("ggplot2", "scales", "zipfR", "pracma", "gsl"))
in R to install those packages.
