Tools for Statistical Inference
Overview
inferr builds upon the statistical tests provided in stats, provides additional and flexible input options and more detailed and structured test results. As of version 0.3, inferr includes a select set of parametric and non-parametric statistical tests which are listed below:
- One Sample t Test
- Paired Sample t Test
- Independent Sample t Test
- One Sample Proportion Test
- Two Sample Proportion Test
- One Sample Variance Test
- Two Sample Variance Test
- Binomial Test
- ANOVA
- Chi Square Goodness of Fit Test
- Chi Square Independence Test
- Levene’s Test
- Cochran’s Q Test
- McNemar Test
- Runs Test for Randomness
