Title: Scientific Analysis of Trial Errors (SATE)
Version: 3.1.1
Authors@R: person("Barry", "Edwards", email = "bce@uga.edu", role = c("aut", "cre"))
Description: Bundles functions used to analyze the harmfulness of trial errors in criminal trials.
    Functions in the Scientific Analysis of Trial Errors ('sate') package help users estimate the 
    probability that a jury will find a defendant guilty given jurors' preferences for a guilty 
    verdict and the uncertainty of that estimate. Users can also compare actual and hypothetical 
    trial conditions to conduct harmful error analysis. The conceptual framework is discussed
    by Barry Edwards, A Scientific Framework for Analyzing the Harmfulness of Trial Errors,
    UCLA Criminal Justice Law Review (2024) <doi:10.5070/CJ88164341> and Barry Edwards,

    The relationship between individual jurors' 
    verdict preferences and the probability that a jury returns a guilty verdict has been studied 
    by Davis (1973) <doi:10.1037/h0033951>; MacCoun & Kerr (1988) <doi:10.1037/0022-3514.54.1.21>, 
    and Devine et el. (2001) <doi:10.1037/1076-8971.7.3.622>, among others.
