In statpsych: Statistical Methods for Psychologists

Computes confidence intervals of standardized effects in a 2x2 between-subjects design

Description

Computes confidence intervals for standardized AB interaction effect, main effect of A, main effect of B, simple main effects of A, and simple main effects of B in a 2x2 between-subjects factorial design with a quantitative response variable. Equality of population variances is not assumed. A square root unweighted average variance standardizer is used, which is the recommended standardizer when both factors are treatment factors.

Usage

ci.2x2.stdmean.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 standardized effect

• adj Estimate - bias adjusted estimate of standardized effect

• SE - standard error

• LL - lower limit of the confidence interval

• UL - upper limit of the confidence interval
