In statpsych: Statistical Methods for Psychologists

Confidence interval for a paired-samples median ratio

Description

Computes a confidence interval for a ratio of population medians in a paired-samples design.

Usage

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

Arguments

alpha	alpha level for 1-alpha confidence
y1	vector of scores for measurement 1
y2	vector of scores for measurement 2

Value

Returns a 1-row matrix. The columns are:

• Median1 - estimated median from measurement 1

• Median2 - estimated median from measurement 2

• Median1/Median2 - estimated ratio of medians

• LL - lower limit of the confidence interval

• UL - upper limit of the confidence interval
