zcurve2.4.6 package

An Implementation of Z-Curves

An implementation of z-curves - a method for estimating expected discovery and replicability rates on the bases of test-statistics of published studies. The package provides functions for fitting the density, EM, and censored EM version (Bartoš & Schimmack, 2022, <doi:10.15626/MP.2021.2720>; Schimmack & Bartoš, 2023, <doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0290084>), as well as the original density z-curve (Brunner & Schimmack, 2020, <doi:10.15626/MP.2018.874>). Furthermore, the package provides summarizing and plotting functions for the fitted z-curve objects. See the aforementioned articles for more information about the z-curves, expected discovery and replicability rates, validation studies, and limitations.
