Fbar.ineq: F-bar for inequality constraints

In ANOVAreplication: Test ANOVA Replications by Means of the Prior Predictive p-Value

Description

The function calculates F-bar for inequality constrained hypotheses (Type B). See Silvapulle & Sen (2011) for background on the F-bar statistic. The code of Vanbrabant (2017) is the basis to this Fbar function.

Usage

Fbar.ineq(data,Amat)

Arguments

data

A dataframe with two variables: (1) a dependent variable, and (2) a grouping variable.

Amat

A p by q matrix, where p is the number of means in the ANOVA model, and q is the number of constraints to be imposed on the model. Each row represents one constraint where the parameter with the lower value according to the constraint receives the value -1, and the parameter with the higher value according to the constraint receives the value 1. Other parameters within the same row obtain the value 0.

Value

The value for the F-bar statistic.
