title: 'jstats: Simplified Statistical Analysis Tools for Social Science'
version: 0.9.96
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.jstats
abstract: Provides simplified tools for common statistical analyses used in social
  science research and teaching, with output formatted in the style of SPSS and Stata.
  Analysis functions include descriptive statistics, frequency tables, t-tests, ANOVA,
  correlations, chi-square tests, cross-tabulations, linear regression, logistic regression,
  and Cronbach's alpha, with built-in model diagnostics and publication-oriented plotting.
  Supporting tools handle data management (recoding, labelling, filtering, dummy coding,
  scale construction), automatic detection and handling of coded missing values, and
  unified data import and export for SPSS, Stata, SAS, Excel, CSV, and R formats.
  Functions accept unquoted variable names and formula syntax for ease of use, handle
  haven-labelled variables automatically, and return results invisibly while printing
  user-friendly tables. The package stays close enough to base R conventions that
  users learn transferable skills rather than a private dialect, supporting a smooth
  transition from SPSS, Stata, or SAS into the broader R ecosystem.
