Statistical Reporting Assessment
Even if your data and code are publicly available, you can still fall at the last hurdle by not reporting the correct numbers in a manuscript. Luckily, the statcheck
library can check this for you.
Specifically, it:
- extracts all the analyses reported in your manuscript
- takes the test statistics and df and recomputes p values
- compares the recomputed p value with the p value reported in the manuscript to check for reporting errors, and also for APA compliance.
This can also be very useful when peer reviewing others’ manuscripts! statcheck
provides an option to read .pdf
files, although this requires XPDF, which I’ve found tricky to get installed correctly on Mac.
