Read the FReD dataset

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)

Arguments

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.

Value

A data frame with the FReD dataset
