Descriptive Statistical Analysis

descriptio provides functions for the description of statistical associations between two variables :

  • measures of local and global association between variables (phi, Cramer’s V, point-biserial correlation, eta-squared, Goodman & Kruskal tau, PEM, etc.),
  • graphical representations of the associations between two variables (using ggplot2),
  • weighted statistics,
  • permutation tests.
