A1: A1

In RProbSup: Calculates Probability of Superiority

Description

Calculates the standard error and constructs a confidence interval for the A statistic using bootstrap methods.

Usage

A1(y1, y2, weights = FALSE, w1 = 0, w2 = 0, n.bootstrap = 1999,
conf.level = .95, ci.method = 1, seed = 1)

Arguments

y1	Scores for group 1 (vector).
y2	Scores for group 2 (vector).
weights	Whether to weight cases (default = FALSE).
w1	Weights for cases in group 1 (optional) (vector, default is 0).
w2	Weights for cases in group 2 (optional) (vector, default is 0).
n.bootstrap	Number of bootstrap samples (scalar, default = 1999).
conf.level	Confidence level (scalar, default = .95).
ci.method	Method used to construct confidence interval (scalar, default = 1 (for BCA), user can also call 2 (for percentile).
seed	Random number seed (scalar, default = 1).

Value

A vector containing the A statistic, its estimated standard error, and the upper and lower bounds of the confidence interval.
