The goal of discernible is to promote the use of “discernible” over “significant” after “statistically”, and leave “significant” to be “practically significant”. This package is developed in a somewhat tongue-in-cheek manner, to implement ideas from Jeff Witmer’s editorial on terminology for statistical inference.
Installation
You can install the development version of discernible like so:
devtools::install_github("mine-cetinkaya-rundel/discernible")Example
This is a basic example of how you can use the discernible() function:
library(discernible)
conclusion <- "The clinical trial showed statistically significant evidence of being effective."
discernible(conclusion)
#> [1] "The clinical trial showed statistically discernible evidence of being effective."
