clinicalsignificance - clinicalsignificance 2.0.0

Breaking changes

• The former main function clinical_significance() is deprecated. The package now offers several different approaches to clinical significance analyses, namely:
  • cs_anchor() (Anchor-based approaches)
  • cs_percentage()(Percentage-change approaches)
  • cs_distribution()(Distribution-based approaches)
  • cs_statistical()(Statistical approaches)
  • cs_combined()(Combined approaches)

The function clinical_significance() used the combined approach (distribution-based and statistical). So the identical analysis can be carried out with cs_combined().

• The function check_cutoff() is deprecated.

• When method = "HLM, participants with three or more data points will be used. Before, participants with at least three data points (i.e., 4 or more) were used.

New features

• You can now specify a significance level at which you want the analysis to be based on with the significance_level argument. The default is significance_level = 0.05. Note that for this is the Phi max level when you set method = "HA" as outlined in their article.

• The package now offers to combined approaches: The classic combination of statistical and distribution-based approaches but also the combination of statistical and anchor-based approaches

• We included the function cs_get_model() to retrieve the hierarchical linear model that is fit during the distribution-based approach if the HLM method is requested.

• The hechler_2014 dataset was included to ensure reproducibility of the JSS article.

Minor improvements and fixes

• Change the whole package to use R's native pipe operator |>
• Remove unnecessary dependency on magrittr
• Include new vignettes replacing the old ones
• Display correct percentages in summary tables
• Update package vignettes
