There is a lot of necessary jargon to learn for coding. The goal of glossary is to provide a lightweight solution for making glossaries in educational materials written in quarto or R Markdown. This package provides functions to link terms in text to their definitions in an external glossary file, as well as create a glossary table of all linked terms at the end of a section.
Installation
You can install glossary from CRAN with:
install.packages("glossary")You can install the development version of glossary from GitHub with:
# install.packages("devtools")

| alpha | The threshold chosen in Neyman-Pearson hypothesis testing to distinguish test results that lead to the decision to reject the null hypothesis, or not, based on the desired upper bound of the Type 1 error rate. An alpha level of 5% is most commonly used, but other alpha levels can be used as long as they are determined and preregistered by the researcher before the data is analyzed. |
| effect size | ‘quantitative reflection of the magnitude of some phenomenon that is used for the purpose of addressing a question of interest’ (Kelley & Preacher, 2012) |
| power | The probability of rejecting the null hypothesis when it is false, for a specific analysis, effect size, sample size, and criteria for significance. |
