propTest2: Proportion Test (2 Outcomes)

In jmv: The 'jamovi' Analyses

Proportion Test (2 Outcomes)

Description

The Binomial test is used to test the Null hypothesis that the proportion of observations match some expected value. If the p-value is low, this suggests that the Null hypothesis is false, and that the true proportion must be some other value.

Usage

propTest2(data, vars, areCounts = FALSE, testValue = 0.5,
  hypothesis = "notequal", ci = FALSE, ciWidth = 95, bf = FALSE,
  priorA = 1, priorB = 1, ciBayes = FALSE, ciBayesWidth = 95,
  postPlots = FALSE)

Arguments

data	the data as a data frame
vars	a vector of strings naming the variables of interest in data
areCounts	TRUE or FALSE (default), the variables are counts
testValue	a number (default: 0.5), the value for the null hypothesis
hypothesis	'notequal' (default), 'greater' or 'less', the alternative hypothesis
ci	TRUE or FALSE (default), provide confidence intervals
ciWidth	a number between 50 and 99.9 (default: 95), the confidence interval width
bf	TRUE or FALSE (default), provide Bayes factors
priorA	a number (default: 1), the beta prior 'a' parameter
priorB	a number (default: 1), the beta prior 'b' parameter
ciBayes	TRUE or FALSE (default), provide Bayesian credible intervals
ciBayesWidth	a number between 50 and 99.9 (default: 95), the credible interval width
postPlots	TRUE or FALSE (default), provide posterior plots

Value

A results object containing:

results$table					a table of the proportions and test results
results$postPlots					an array of the posterior plots

Tables can be converted to data frames with asDF or as.data.frame. For example:

results$table$asDF

as.data.frame(results$table)

Examples

dat <- data.frame(x=c(8, 15))

propTest2(dat, vars = x, areCounts = TRUE)
