gtstats: Beginner-Friendly Statistics and Publication-Ready Tables

Provides beginner-friendly functions for common descriptive and inferential statistical analyses, together with tools for creating publication-ready tables. The package includes data description, summary statistics, distribution assessment, group comparisons, effect sizes, correlations, proportions and rates with confidence intervals, crosstabs for epidemiological measures, plots, and modular table-building workflows. Statistical methods include unequal-variance comparisons described by Welch (1947) <doi:10.1093/biomet/34.1-2.28>, score confidence intervals described by Wilson (1927) <doi:10.1080/01621459.1927.10502953>, and robust variance assessment described by Brown and Forsythe (1974) <doi:10.1080/01621459.1974.10482955>.
