eqint: Equivalent Intercepts Data Frame - eqint

In sla: Two-Group Straight Line ANCOVA

Description

A small (input) data frame comprised of three columns in specific order: (1) Factor (group) variable at two levels, (2) x; a numerical regressor vector, and (3) y; a numerical criterion vector. The data are contrived to yield statistically equivalent intercepts but statistically different slopes.

Usage

data("eqint")

Format

A data frame with 10 observations on the following 3 variables.

group

a factor with levels one two

x

a numeric vector

y

a numeric vector

Details

For the general two-group, straight line ANCOVA problem, the full model fits four parameters - two intercepts and two slopes, one intercept and one slope for each of the two groups. One of the reduced models fits three parameters - a single, common intercept, and two separate slopes. The data in the eqint data frame are contrived to yield statistically equivalent intercepts and statistically different slopes.
