Overview

The results definition is a yaml file in the jamovi/ directory, with the extension .r.yaml. the results definition describes the results produced by the analysis. the file is named to match the name of the analysis, but converted to lowercase. an example is ttestis.r.yaml:

- name: TTestIS
  title: Independent Samples T-Test
  jrs: '1.0'
  items:
  - name: ...
