3 Nearly 2,000 free statistical functions Available on The Comprehensive R Archive Network
4 Pre-wrapped R functions Perform advanced procedures such as the Breusch-Pagan heteroscedasticity test. Pre-wrapped packages include:
  • Estimate a linear model and carry out the Breusch-Pagan heteroscedasticity test, using the ncv.test function from the R car package.
  • Estimate conditional quantiles for a linear model, using the rq function from the R quantreg package.
  • Estimate a Rasch model for item response data, using the rasch function from the R ltm package.
  • Estimate a linear regression model, robustly with an M estimator, using the rlm function from the R MASS package.
  • Estimate a regression model with optional fixed upper and/or lower bounds for the dependent variable, using the tobit function from the R AER package.
  • Calculate correlations for nominal, ordinal, and scale variables - accounting for the measurement levels of the variables - using the hector function from the R polycor package.
  • Create boxplots with different options from standard IBM SPSS Statistics boxplots, using the R boxplot function.
