In BIFIEsurvey: Tools for Survey Statistics in Educational Assessment

Analysis of Variance and Effect Sizes for Univariate Statistics

Description

Computes a Wald test which tests equality of means (univariate analysis of variance). In addition, the d and \eta effect sizes are computed.

Usage

BIFIE.univar.test(BIFIE.method, wald_test=TRUE)

## S3 method for class 'BIFIE.univar.test'
summary(object,digits=4,...)

Arguments

BIFIE.method	Object of class BIFIE.univar
wald_test	Optional logical indicating whether a Wald test should be performed.
object	Object of class BIFIE.univar.test
digits	Number of digits for rounding output
...	Further arguments to be passed

Value

A list with following entries

stat.F	Data frame with F statistic for Wald test
stat.eta	Data frame with \eta effect size and its inference
stat.dstat	Data frame with Cohen's d effect size and its inference
...	More values
