nomiShape 1.0.0
- Initial CRAN submission.
- Provides tools to visualize and analyze nominal (categorical,
unordered) variable distributions.
- Introduces novel centered bar and dot plots, which arrange
categories from most frequent at the center outward, allowing detection
of distributional patterns such as uniformity, dominance, symmetry,
skewness, and long-tail behavior — an approach not previously available
in R.
- Includes functions to plot, analyze, and perform model comparison
using AIC for nominal data shapes.
- Main functions:
ranked_barplot(),
centered_barplot(), centered_dotplot(),
shape_comp_plot(), shape_aic().
- Designed for exploratory data analysis of nominal variables.
