visStatistics: Automated Selection and Visualisation of Statistical Hypothesis Tests

Automatically selects and visualises appropriate statistical hypothesis tests between a response and a feature variable in a data frame. The choice of test depends on the class, distribution, and sample size of the input variables, as well as the user-defined 'conf.level'. The package focuses on visualising the selected test using appropriate plots— such as box plots, bar charts, regression lines with confidence bands, mosaic plots, residual plots and Q–Q plots. Each plot is annotated with relevant test statistics and, where applicable, assumption checks and post-hoc results. The scripted workflow is particularly well suited for interactive interfaces where users access data only through a graphical front end backed by server-side R sessions, as well as for quick data exploration, for example, in statistical consulting contexts. Implemented tests: t.test(), wilcox.test(), aov(), oneway.test(), kruskal.test(), lm(), fisher.test(), chisq.test(). Tests for normality: shapiro.test(), ad.test(). Tests for equal variances: bartlett.test(). Post-hoc tests: TukeyHSD(), pairwise.wilcox.test().
