Keng: Knock Errors Off Nice Guesses

Miscellaneous functions and data used in psychological research and teaching. Keng currently has a built-in dataset depress, and could (1) scale a vector; (2) divide a vector into three groups, (3) compute the cut-off values of Pearson's r with known sample size; (4) test the significance and compute the post-hoc power for Pearson's r with known sample size; (5) conduct a priori power analysis and plan the sample size for Pearson's r; (6) compare lm()'s fitted outputs using R-squared, f_squared, post-hoc power, and PRE (Proportional Reduction in Error, also called partial R-squared or partial Eta-squared); (7) calculate PRE from partial correlation, Cohen's f, or f_squared; (8) conduct a priori power analysis and plan the sample size for one or a set of predictors in regression analysis; (9) conduct post-hoc power analysis for one or a set of predictors in regression analysis with known sample size; (10) randomly pick numbers for Chinese Super Lotto and Double Color Balls; (11) assess course objective achievement in Outcome-Based Education.
