[Feature Request]: Display variable units in result tables and plots

Open tomtomme opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

Still valid for 0.19 beta

Description

If one could put the unit e.g. [cm] or [seconds] of a variable somewhere in JASP those units could be displayed within the results (tables and plots).

Purpose

This could improve results readability.

Use-case

Especially students often do not know if a number is relative / % or actually still has the dimension of the measurement.

Is your feature request related to a problem?

Teaching statistics is hard. This would make it easier because more context of the actual meaning of the numbers is provided!

Describe alternatives that you have considered

You also could transform all relative results in tables etc. from e.g. 0.001 to 0.1% (like p-values, R², other standardized results) and leave all absolute numbers as they are, so that they are easier to distinguish.

@tomtomme interesting idea. Unfortunately, I dont think this will be very high on the priority list right now...
