@siriak @acylam @Panquesito7 Please see to this too, this is reallt awesome work. I am a machine learning researcher so I thought to add this here with the demo dataset.

🧬 Add Comprehensive Biomedical Statistical Tests with Advanced Visualizations

🚀 Overview

This PR introduces a complete suite of essential biomedical statistical tests with professional visualizations and clinical examples. All implementations are built with base R (no external dependencies) and include comprehensive educational demonstrations for biomedical research applications.

  • Two-Sample T-Test: Compare means between independent groups (treatment comparisons)
  • Paired T-Test: Analyze before/after measurements (clinical interventions)
  • Welch's T-Test: Handle unequal variances automatically
  • Statistical Power Analysis: Sample size planning with effect size considerations
  • Clinical Interpretations: Effect size guidelines (Cohen's d) and practical significance

🎯 Chi-Square Test Suite (chi_square_tests.r)

  • Goodness of Fit Test: Compare observed vs expected distributions (blood type analysis)
  • Test of Independence: Analyze relationships between categorical variables (treatment response by demographics)
  • McNemar's Test: Paired categorical data analysis (before/after treatment status)
  • Effect Size Measures: Cramer's V and phi coefficients
  • Multiple Testing Corrections: Bonferroni and FDR adjustments
  • Contingency Table Visualizations: Professional heatmaps with residual analysis

📈 Advanced Correlation Analysis (correlation_analysis.r)

  • Pearson Correlation: Linear relationships with assumption checking
