Durga: An R package for effect size estimation and visualisation

O_LIStatistical analysis and data visualisation are integral parts of science communication. One of the major issues in current data analysis practice is an over-dependency on - and misuse of - p-values. Researchers have been advocating for the estimation and reporting of effect sizes for quantitative research to enhance the clarity and effectiveness of data analysis. Reporting effect sizes in scientific publications has until now been mainly limited to numeric tables, even though effect size plotting is a more effective means of communicating results, however, statistical software for plotting effect sizes is currently limited. C_LIO_LIWe have developed the Durga R package to estimate and plot effect sizes. Durga allows users to estimate unstandardised and standardised effect sizes and bootstrapped confidence intervals of the effect sizes. The central functionality of Durga is to combine effect size visualisations with traditional plotting methods. C_LIO_LIDurga is a powerful statistical and data visualisation package that is easy to use, providing the flexibility to estimate effect sizes of paired and unpaired data using different statistical methods. Durga provides a plethora of options for plotting effect size, which allows users to plot data in the most informative and aesthetic way. C_LIO_LIHere, we introduce the package and its various functions. We further describe a workflow for estimating and plotting effect sizes using example data sets. C_LI
