allStats {JATSdecoder}

allStats

Description

Extracts statistical results within a text string and outputs a vector of sticked results, e.g.: c("t(12)=1.2, p>.05","r's(33)>.7, ps<.05"), that can be further processed with standardStats. This function is implemented in get.stats which returns the results of allStats and standardStats. Besides only plain textual input, get.stats enables direct processing of different file formats (NISO-JATS coded XML, DOCX, HTML) without text preprocessing.

Usage

allStats(x)

Arguments

x

A character string that may contain statistical results.

Value

Vector with sticked results. Empty, if no result is detected.

Source

A minimal web application that extracts statistical results from single documents with get.stats is hosted at: https://www.get-stats.app/
