Generate Descriptive Statistics for Study Groups

Description

This internal helper function generates descriptive statistics for each group within the original study data. It calculates the sample size, mean, standard deviation, median, median absolute deviation, minimum, maximum, skewness, and kurtosis for the values associated with each group.

Usage

generate_descriptives(df, group_var)

Arguments

df

A data frame containing the study data.

group_var

The name of the column in df that contains the group labels.

Details

The function iterates over each unique group found in the group_var column of the data frame df. For each group, it computes the descriptive statistics using base R functions and functions from the psych and e1071 packages for skewness and kurtosis, respectively.

The results are returned as a data frame where each row corresponds to a group and each column to a descriptive statistic.

Note

As this is an internal function intended for use within process_original_study function of the package.
