ci.2x2.median.bs: Computes tests and confidence intervals of effects in a 2x2...

In statpsych: Statistical Methods for Psychologists

Computes tests and confidence intervals of effects in a 2x2 betwen-subjects design for medians

Description

Computes confidence intervals for the AB interaction effect, main effect of A, main efect of B, simple main effects of A, and simple main effects of B in a 2x2 between-subjects design with a quantitative response variable. The effects are defined in terms of medians rather than means.

Usage

ci.2x2.median.bs(alpha, y11, y12, y21, y22)

Arguments

alpha	alpha level for 1-alpha confidence
y11	vector of scores at level 1 of A and level 1 of B
y12	vector of scores at level 1 of A and level 2 of B
y21	vector of scores at level 2 of A and level 1 of B
y22	vector of scores at level 2 of A and level 2 of B

Value

Returns a 7-row matrix (one row per effect). The columns are:

• Estimate - estimate of effect

• SE - standard error

• LL - lower limit of the confidence interval

• UL - upper limit of the confidence interval

Examples

y11 = c(14, 15, 11, 7, 16, 12, 15, 16, 10, 9)
y12 = c(18, 24, 14, 18, 22, 21, 16, 17, 14, 13)
y21 = c(16, 11, 10, 17, 13, 18, 12, 16, 6, 15)
y22 = c(18, 17, 11, 9, 9, 13, 18, 15, 14, 11)
