Simulate Model MB2 from Pustejovsky, Hedges, & Shadish (2014)

Description

Simulates data from a linear mixed effects model, then calculates REML effect size estimator as described in Pustejovsky, Hedges, & Shadish (2014).

Usage

simulate_MB2(
  iterations,
  beta,
  rho,
  phi,
  tau1_ratio,
  tau_corr,
  design,
  m,
  n,
  MB = TRUE
)

Arguments

iterations	number of independent iterations of the simulation
beta	vector of fixed effect parameters
rho	intra-class correlation parameter
phi	autocorrelation parameter
tau1_ratio	ratio of treatment effect variance to intercept variance
tau_corr	correlation between case-specific treatment effects and intercepts
design	design matrix. If not specified, it will be calculated based on m, n, and MB.
m	number of cases. Not used if design is specified.
n	number of measurement occasions. Not used if design is specified.
MB	If true, a multiple baseline design will be used; otherwise, an AB design will be used. Not used if design is specified.

Value

A matrix reporting the mean and variance of the effect size estimates and various associated statistics.
