ggsignif

Easily add significance bars to your ggplots

Description

This package provides an easy way to indicate if two groups are significantly different. Commonly this is shown with a by a bar on top connecting the groups of interest which itself is annoted with the level of significance (NS, *, **, ***). The package provides a single layer (geom_signif) that takes the groups for comparison and the test (t.test, wilcox etc.) and adds the annotation to the plot.

Example
