Goal

The main goal of the psycho package is to provide tools for psychologists, neuropsychologists and neuroscientists, to facilitate and speed up the time spent on data analysis. It aims at supporting best practices by providing tools to format the output of statistical methods to directly paste them into a manuscript, ensuring standardization of statistical reporting.

General Workflow

The package revolves around the psychobject. Main functions from the package return this type, and the analyze() function transforms other R objects into psychobjects. Four functions can then be applied on a psychobject: summary(), print(), plot() and values().
