In statpsych: Statistical Methods for Psychologists

Confidence intervals for pairwise proportion differences of a polychotomous variable

Description

Computes adjusted Wald confidence intervals for pairwise proportion differences of a polychotomous variable. These adjusted Wald confidence intervals use the same method that is used to compare the two proportions in a paired-samples design.

Usage

ci.pairs.prop1(alpha, f)

Arguments

alpha	alpha level for 1-alpha confidence
f	vector of multinomial frequency counts

Value

Returns a 1-row matrix. The columns are:

• Estimate - adjusted estimate of proportion difference

• SE - adjusted standard error

• LL - lower limit of the adjusted Wald confidence interval

• UL - upper limit of the adjusted Wald confidence interval
