Description: Implements methods that are useful in designing research
        studies and analyzing data, with particular emphasis on methods
        that are developed for or used within the behavioral,
        educational, and social sciences (broadly defined). That being
        said, many of the methods implemented within MBESS are
        applicable to a wide variety of disciplines. MBESS has a suite
        of functions for a variety of related topics, such as effect
        sizes, confidence intervals for effect sizes (including
        standardized effect sizes and noncentral effect sizes), sample
        size planning (from the accuracy in parameter estimation
        [AIPE], power analytic, equivalence, and minimum-risk point
        estimation perspectives), mediation analysis, various
        properties of distributions, and a variety of utility
        functions. MBESS (pronounced 'em-bes') was originally an
        acronym for 'Methods for the Behavioral, Educational, and
        Social Sciences,' but MBESS became more general and now
        contains methods applicable and used in a wide variety of
        fields and is an orphan acronym, in the sense that what was an
        acronym is now literally its name. MBESS has greatly benefited
        from the contributions of many people over the years, who are
        acknowledged in the package documentation.
