The {ordinalsimr} package assists in constructing simulation studies of ordinal data comparing two groups. It is intended to facilitate translation of methodological advances into practical settings for e.g. applied statisticians and data analysts who want to determine an appropriate statistical test to apply on their data or a proposed distribution of data.
This package is primarily developed as a Shiny application which
abstracts away the heavier coding aspect of setting up simulation
studies. Instead, users can simply enter parameters and data
distributions into the application, and save the results as an
.rds file. The structure of the Shiny application only
allows for one simulation to be specified at a time as opposed to a grid
of parameters. However, the underlying functions for running the
simulations are accessible. See vignette("ordinalsimr") for
template code on setting up your own simulations manually.
You can install the development version of ordinalsimr from GitHub with:
# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github(
"NeuroShepherd/ordinalsimr",
build_vignettes = TRUE
)The app can be started with the following code:
ordinalsimr::run_app()If using the app repeatedly, it may be useful to change some of the
options in the application to suit your needs. See the vignette
“ordinalsimr-options” for more information,
vignette("ordinalsimr-options", package = "ordinalsimr").
Simulations with 1000s of iterations will take minutes to
hours to run. This should generally be ok on the Shiny app, but if you
encounter issues, consider running the simulations in a separate R
session using the functions provided in this package (rather than the
Shiny app). See the vignette “coding-simulations” for more information,
vignette("coding-simulations", package = "ordinalsimr").
These binaries (installable software) and packages are in development.
They may not be fully stable and should be used with caution. We make no claims about them.
