In statpsych: Statistical Methods for Psychologists

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

Description

Computes confidence intervals for a population standardized linear contrast of means in a between-subjects design. The unweighted standardizer is recommended in experimental designs. The weighted standardizer is recommended in nonexperimental designs with simple random sampling. The group 1 standardizer is useful in both experimental and nonexperimental designs. Equality of variances is not assumed.

Usage

ci.lc.stdmean.bs(alpha, m, sd, n, v)

Arguments

alpha	alpha level for 1-alpha confidence
m	vector of estimated group means
sd	vector of estimated group standard deviation
n	vector of sample sizes
v	vector of between-subjects contrast coefficients

Value

Returns a 3-row matrix. The columns are:

• Estimate - bias adjusted standardized linear contrast

• SE - standard error

• LL - lower limit of the confidence interval

• UL - upper limit of the confidence interval
