Arguments

data A dataframe (or a tibble) from which variables specified are to be taken. Other data types (e.g., matrix,table, array, etc.) will not be accepted. The column in data containing the explanatory variable to be plotted on the x-axis. Can be entered either as a character string (e.g., "x") or as a bare expression (e.g, x). The column in data containing the response (outcome) variable to be plotted on the y-axis. Can be entered either as a character string (e.g., "y") or as a bare expression (e.g, y). A single grouping variable (can be entered either as a bare name x or as a string "x"). Variable to use for points labels. Can be entered either as a bare expression (e.g, var1) or as a string (e.g., "var1"). An expression evaluating to a logical vector that determines the subset of data points to label. This argument can be entered either as a bare expression (e.g., y < 4 & z < 20) or as a string (e.g., "y < 4 & z < 20"). Character that describes what is to be returned: can be "plot" (default) or "subtitle" or "caption". Setting this to "subtitle" will return the expression containing statistical results. If you have set results.subtitle = FALSE, then this will return a NULL. Setting this to "caption" will return the expression containing details about Bayes Factor analysis, but valid only when type = "parametric" and bf.message = TRUE, otherwise this will return a NULL. A list of additional arguments passed to patchwork::wrap_plots, except for guides argument which is already separately specified here. A list of additional arguments passed to patchwork::plot_annotation. Arguments passed on to ggscatterstats point.label.argsA list of additional aesthetic arguments to be passed to ggrepel::geom_label_repel geom used to display the labels. smooth.line.argsA list of additional aesthetic arguments to be passed to ggplot2::geom_smooth geom used to display the regression line. point.argsA list of additional aesthetic arguments to be passed to ggplot2::geom_point geom used to display the raw data points. marginalDecides whether marginal distributions will be plotted on axes using ggExtra::ggMarginal(). The default is TRUE. The package ggExtra must already be installed by the user. point.width.jitterDegree of jitter in x and y direction, respectively. Defaults to 0 (0%) of the resolution of the data. Note that the jitter should not be specified in the point.args because this information will be passed to two different geoms: one displaying the points and the other displaying the *labels for these points. point.height.jitterDegree of jitter in x and y direction, respectively. Defaults to 0 (0%) of the resolution of the data. Note that the jitter should not be specified in the point.args because this information will be passed to two different geoms: one displaying the points and the other displaying the *labels for these points. marginal.typeType of marginal distribution to be plotted on the axes ("histogram", "boxplot", "density", "violin", "densigram"). marginal.sizeInteger describing the relative size of the marginal plots compared to the main plot. A size of 5 means that the main plot is 5x wider and 5x taller than the marginal plots. xfillCharacter describing color fill for x and y axes marginal distributions (default: "#009E73" (for x) and "#D55E00" (for y)). Note that the defaults are colorblind-friendly. yfillCharacter describing color fill for x and y axes marginal distributions (default: "#009E73" (for x) and "#D55E00" (for y)). Note that the defaults are colorblind-friendly. typeA character specifying the type of statistical approach: "parametric" "nonparametric" "robust" "bayes" This argument also accepts the following abbreviations: "p" (for parametric), "np" (for nonparametric), "r" (for robust), "bf" (for Bayes Factor or Bayesian). conf.levelScalar between 0 and 1. If unspecified, the defaults return 95% confidence/credible intervals (0.95). bf.priorA number between 0.5 and 2 (default 0.707), the prior width to use in calculating Bayes factors and posterior estimates. In addition to numeric arguments, several named values are also recognized: "medium", "wide", and "ultrawide", corresponding to r scale values of 1/2, sqrt(2)/2, and 1, respectively. In case of an ANOVA, this value corresponds to scale for fixed effects. trTrim level for the mean when carrying out robust tests. In case of an error, try reducing the value of tr, which is by default set to 0.2. Lowering the value might help. kNumber of digits after decimal point (should be an integer) (Default: k = 2L). ggthemeA function, ggplot2 theme name. Default value is ggplot2::theme_bw(). Any of the ggplot2 themes, or themes from extension packages are allowed (e.g., ggthemes::theme_fivethirtyeight(), hrbrthemes::theme_ipsum_ps(), etc.). ggstatsplot.layerLogical that decides whether theme_ggstatsplot theme elements are to be displayed along with the selected ggtheme (Default: TRUE). theme_ggstatsplot is an opinionated theme layer that override some aspects of the selected ggtheme. bf.messageLogical that decides whether to display Bayes Factor in favor of the null hypothesis. This argument is relevant only for parametric test (Default: TRUE). results.subtitleDecides whether the results of statistical tests are to be displayed as a subtitle (Default: TRUE). If set to FALSE, only the plot will be returned. xlabLabels for x and y axis variables. If NULL (default), variable names for x and y will be used. ylabLabels for x and y axis variables. If NULL (default), variable names for x and y will be used. subtitleThe text for the plot subtitle. Will work only if results.subtitle = FALSE. captionThe text for the plot caption. ggplot.componentA ggplot component to be added to the plot prepared by ggstatsplot. This argument is primarily helpful for grouped_ variants of all primary functions. Default is NULL. The argument should be entered as a ggplot2 function or a list of ggplot2 functions.
