statcheck: Extract Statistics from Articles and Recompute P-Values
A "spellchecker" for statistics. It checks whether your
p-values match their accompanying test statistic and degrees of
freedom. statcheck searches for null-hypothesis significance test
(NHST) in APA style (e.g., t(28) = 2.2, p < .05). It recalculates the
p-value using the reported test statistic and degrees of freedom. If
the reported and computed p-values don't match, statcheck will flag
the result as an error. If the reported p-value is statistically
significant and the recomputed one is not, or vice versa, the result
will be flagged as a decision error. You can use statcheck directly
on a string of text, but you can also scan a PDF or HTML file, or even
a folder of PDF and/or HTML files. Statcheck needs an external
program to convert PDF to text: Xpdf. Instructions on where and how to
download this program, how to install statcheck, and more details on
what statcheck can and cannot do can be found in the online manual:
<https://rpubs.com/michelenuijten/statcheckmanual>. You can find a
point-and-click web interface to scan PDF or HTML or DOCX articles on
<http://statcheck.io>.
