Description

Checks consistency between the sided of the hypothesis and the minimal clinically relevant effect size or savi test defining parameter. Throws an error if the one-sided hypothesis is incongruent with the

Usage

checkAndReturnEsMinParameterSide(
  paramToCheck,
  alternative = c("twoSided", "greater", "less"),
  esMinName = c("noName", "meanDiffMin", "meanDiffTrue", "phiS", "deltaMin", "deltaS",
    "hrMin", "thetaS", "deltaTrue", "g", "kappaG"),
  paramDomain = NULL
)

Arguments

paramToCheck	numeric. Either a named savi test defining parameter such as phiS, or thetaS, or a minimal clinically relevant effect size called with a non-null esMinName name
alternative	a character string specifying the alternative hypothesis. Must be one of "twoSided" (default), "greater" or "less".
esMinName	provides the name of the effect size. Either "meanDiffMin" for the z-test, "deltaMin" for the t-test, or "hrMin" for the logrank test
paramDomain	Domain of the paramToCheck, typically, positiveNumbers. Default NULL

Value

paramToCheck after checking, perhaps with a change in sign
