x	(vector) a numeric vector
y	(vector) a numeric vector with compatible dimensions to x
fn_cor	(function) a function returning a correlation coefficient
...	Arguments passed to fn_cor

Value

(numeric) Spearman-Brown coefficient

Examples

# Generate two variables with different means, variances and a correlation of about 0.5
library(MASS)
vars = mvrnorm(30, mu = c(0, 2), Sigma = matrix(c(5, 2, 2, 3), ncol = 2), empirical = TRUE)
# Calculate coefficient based on Pearson correlation
spearman_brown(vars[,1], vars[,2])
# Calculate coefficient based on ICC, two-way, random effects, absolute agreement, single rater
spearman_brown(vars[,1], vars[,2], short_icc, type = "ICC1", lmer = FALSE)
