scdhlm and SingleCaseES are R packages that provide specialized effect size calculation methods used in certain areas of social science research. Both packages include interactive web apps written in Shiny. The web apps allow users who are not comfortable with R to use the functionality of the packages via a point-and-click interface. The apps also automatically generate R code for reproducing calculations carried out interactively. The web apps do not currently have adequate test suites. An intern would be responsible for developing a set of robustness tests (using the Shinytest2 system) that exercise the main functionality of the web apps and verify that the results and auto-generated R code are correct.
Intern needs:
R programming.
Application Requirements:
