Description: Provides statistical methods for auditing as implemented
        in JASP for Audit (Derks et al., 2021
        <doi:10.21105/joss.02733>). First, the package makes it easy
        for an auditor to plan a statistical sample, select the sample
        from the population, and evaluate the misstatement in the
        sample compliant with international auditing standards. Second,
        the package provides statistical methods for auditing data,
        including tests of digit distributions and repeated values.
        Finally, the package includes methods for auditing algorithms
        on the aspect of fairness and bias. Next to classical
        statistical methodology, the package implements Bayesian
        equivalents of these methods whose statistical underpinnings
        are described in Derks et al. (2021) <doi:10.1111/ijau.12240>,
