Idea here is to provide example verbiage of reporting contrasts when using this package.
non-ideal:
Factors were contrast coded (this is meaningless)
We use sum coding for all factors (sum coding has a specific meaning but too varied and inconsistent of a usage)
We code our comparisons in advance (also meaningless)
We use +/-.5 for all two-level factors (what are the reference levels)
We use the set_contrasts function from the contrastable package to set our contrasts (what functions/matrices did you pass)
better:
Contrasts for all factors are reported in the appendix using the glimpse_contrasts function from the contrastable package (citation here). Our main comparisons of interest are...
We use the sum_code function from the contrastable package (citation here) for all factors. The reference levels for each variable are... The intercept represents the grand mean
We provide the contrast matrix for each categorical variable in the appendix. Our main comparisons of interest are... The intercept represents ....
Two-level factors are coded as +/-.5 (where X is the reference for var1, Y for var2, Z for var3) while factors with more than two levels are helmert coded using the contrastable package. Our main comparisons of interest are... The intercept represents the grand mean
We use the set_contrasts function from the contrastable package with the scaled_sum_code function for two-level factors and helmert_code function for factors with more than three levels. These contrasts encode our main comparisons of interests ... while using orthogonal comparisons for variables we wish to control for. The intercept represents the grand mean.
the glimpse table can also be shown, with an example of how to use the namespaces and turn the columns into in-line descriptions. One table can show them included, another can replace the strings with superscripts, eg 1=contrastable, 2=stats
