grafify (version 0.1)
  • grafify plots graphs and performs ANOVAs with post-hoc comparisons, similar to the R package.
  • Uses ggplot2 with colourblind-friendly palettes and supports linear and mixed-effects models.
  • Available online at Shinyapps.io . Also available as a Shinylive app at mirror 1 and mirror 2 , and as a Windows app.
  • Also hosted on Impaas with support from Imperial College London Department of Computing.
  • Resources: Statistics for biologists and R programming.

This is the summary of the fitted model. It shows model parameters, such as residual SE, coefficients etc. For simple or ordinar linear models, grafify uses the lm() function from base R. For mixed effects models, grafify uses the lmer() function from the lme4 and lmerTest packages.
