Read the FReD dataset — read

This function loads the FReD dataset into R. It merges the data from the different sheets into one data frame.

Usage

read_fred(
  data = get_param("FRED_DATA_FILE"),
  retain_es_as_character = TRUE,
  verbose = TRUE
)

data: Path to the FReD dataset (defaults to current FReD data on OSF), unless the package is in offline mode (use_FReD_offline())
retain_es_as_character: Should effect sizes be retained as character? Defaults to TRUE, so that coded test statistics with df can be converted to common metric.
verbose: Should detailed messages be printed that highlight data conversion issues? Defaults to TRUE. FALSE is quiet mode, and NULL prints a summary of problems.
