In fsn: Rosenthal's Fail Safe Number and Related Functions

Density of Nr assuming a truncated normal or a folded normal

Description

Density of Nr assuming a truncated normal or a folded normal.

Usage

truncnorm.nr.density(nr, k, alpha = 0.05)
foldnorm.nr.density(nr, k, alpha = 0.05)

Arguments

nr	The value of Nr, which must be positive aparently.
k	The number of studies.
alpha	The significance level, set to 0.05 by default.

Details

The function calculates the density of Nr assuming either a truncated normal (Equation (9)) or a folded normal (Equation (15)) in Fragkos, Tsagris & Frangos (2017).

Value

The density value of Nr assuming either a truncated normal or a folded normal.
