In reproducer: Reproduce Statistical Analyses and Meta-Analyses

CalculateLevel2ExperimentRData

Description

This function analyses data on r values obtained in the format obtained from the ConstructLevel1ExperimentRData function and finds the r-value for each metric for each experiment.

Usage

CalculateLevel2ExperimentRData(
  Level1Data,
  Groups,
  StudyID,
  ExperimentNames,
  Metrics,
  Type
)

Arguments

Level1Data	a tibble in the format produced by the ConstructLevel1ExperimentRData function which has r-values for each sequence group in a crossover experiment
Groups	This is a list that defines the sequence group labels used in the dataset.
StudyID	This holds an identifier used to identify the origin of the experimental data in the output from this function.
ExperimentNames	This a list of identifiers used to define each experiment in the output from this function.
Metrics	This is a list of of character strings identifying each outcome metric reported in each of the experiments in the set of replicated experiments.
Type	this is a list of character strings specifying for each experiment whether the experiment is a two sequence group '2G' or four sequence group '4G' experiment. return RExp.Table This is a table containing the pooled data variance and the pooled difference variance for the experiment and the value r for the experiment for each metric
