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, If The Jury Only
        Knew: The Effect Of Omitted Mitigation Evidence On The
        Probability Of A Death Sentence, Virginia Journal of Social
        Policy & the Law (2025)

        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.
