agrobox: Data Visualization and Statistical Tools for Agroindustrial Experiments

Set of tools for statistical analysis, visualization, and reporting of agroindustrial and agricultural experiments. The package provides functions to perform one-way and two-way ANOVA with post-hoc tests (Tukey HSD and Duncan MRT), Welch ANOVA for heteroscedastic data, and the Games-Howell post-hoc test as a robust alternative when variance homogeneity fails. Normality of residuals is assessed with the Shapiro-Wilk test and homoscedasticity with the Fligner-Killeen test; the appropriate statistical path is selected automatically based on these diagnostics. Coefficients of variation and statistical power (via one-way ANOVA power analysis) are reported alongside the post-hoc letter display. High-level wrappers allow automated multi-variable analysis with optional clustering by one or two experimental factors, with support for custom level ordering and relabeling. Results are returned as 'ggplot2' boxplots with mean and letter annotations, wide-format summary tables ready for publication or LaTeX rendering, and structured decision summaries for rapid agronomic interpretation. Direct export to Excel spreadsheets and high-resolution image tables is also supported. Functions follow methods widely used in agronomy, field trials, and plant breeding.

Version en espanol: Conjunto de herramientas para el analisis estadistico, visualizacion y generacion de reportes en ensayos agroindustriales y agricolas. Incluye ANOVA univariado y bifactorial con pruebas post-hoc (Tukey HSD y Duncan MRT), ANOVA de Welch para datos heterocedasticos y la prueba post-hoc de Games-Howell como alternativa robusta cuando falla la homogeneidad de varianzas. La normalidad de residuos se evalua con la prueba de Shapiro-Wilk y la homogeneidad de varianzas con la prueba de Fligner-Killeen; la ruta estadistica apropiada se selecciona automaticamente segun estos diagnosticos. Se reportan coeficientes de variacion y potencia estadistica junto con las letras de separacion de medias. Los envoltorios de alto nivel permiten analisis multivariable automatizado con agrupamiento opcional por uno o dos factores experimentales, con soporte para orden y etiquetado personalizado de niveles. Los resultados se devuelven como boxplots con anotaciones de medias y letras, tablas resumen en formato ancho listas para publicacion o renderizado en LaTeX, y resumenes de decision para interpretacion agronomica rapida. Tambien se soporta exportacion directa a Excel e imagenes de alta resolucion para informes tecnicos.
