exploratory
A Tool for Large-Scale Exploratory Analyses
Description
Conduct numerous exploratory analyses in an instant with a point-and-click interface. With one simple command, this tool launches a Shiny App on the local machine. Drag and drop variables in a data set to categorize them as possible independent, dependent, moderating, or mediating variables. Then run dozens (or hundreds) of analyses instantly to uncover any statistically significant relationships among variables. Any relationship thus uncovered should be tested in follow-up studies. This tool is designed only to facilitate exploratory analyses and should NEVER be used for p-hacking. Many of the functions used in this package are previous versions of functions in the R Packages 'kim' and 'ezr'. Selected References: Chang et al. (2021) <https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=shiny>.
