varRCA: Variance in Meta-Analytic Rho

In psychometric: Applied Psychometric Theory

Variance in Meta-Analytic Rho

Description

Computes the estimate of the variance in the corrected correlation coefficient.

Usage

varRCA(x, aprox = FALSE)

Arguments

x	A matrix or data.frame with columns Rxy, n and artifacts (Rxx, Ryy, u): see EnterMeta
aprox	Logical test to determine if the approximate or exact var e is used

Details

Variance in Rho is computed as: \code{VarResT} / \code{CAFFA}^2

This is used to construct credibility intervals for rho CredIntRho

Value

A numeric value representing the variance in the population correlation coefficient
