Introduction

Here a go-to summary about statistical test carried out and the returned effect size for each function is provided. This should be useful if one needs to find out more information about how an argument is resolved in the underlying package or if one wishes to browse the source code. So, for example, if you want to know more about how one-way (between-subjects) ANOVA, you can run ?stats::oneway.test in your R console.

Abbreviations used: CI = Confidence Interval
