Confidence interval for a linear contrast of proportions in a between- subjects design

Description

Computes an adjusted Wald confidence interval for a linear contrast of population proportions in a between-subjects design.

Usage

ci.lc.prop.bs(alpha, f, n, v)

Arguments

alpha	alpha level for 1-alpha confidence
f	vector of frequency counts of participants who have the attribute
n	vector of sample sizes
v	vector of between-subjects contrast coefficients

Value

Returns a 1-row matrix. The columns are:

• Estimate - adjusted estimate of proportion linear contrast

• SE - adjusted standard error

• z - z test statistic

• p - two-sided p-value

• LL - lower limit of the adjusted Wald confidence interval

• UL - upper limit of the adjusted Wald confidence interval
