ci.ratio.mad.psR Documentation

Confidence interval for a paired-sample MAD ratio

Description

Computes a confidence interval for a ratio of population MADs (mean absolute deviation from median) in a paired-samples design.

Usage

ci.ratio.mad.ps(alpha, y1, y2)

Arguments

alpha

alpha level for 1-alpha confidence

y1

vector of measurement 1 scores

y2

vector of measurement 2 scores (paired with y1)

Value

Returns a 1-row matrix. The columns are:

  • MAD1 - estimated MAD for measurement 1

  • MAD2 - estimated MAD for measurement 2

  • MAD1/MAD2 - estimate of MAD ratio

  • LL - lower limit of the confidence interval

  • UL - upper limit of the confidence interval
