Confidence interval for a paired-samples standardized mean difference

Description

Computes confidence intervals for a population standardized mean difference in a paired-samples design. A square root unweighted variance standardizer and single measurement standard deviation standardizers are used. Equality of variances is not assumed.

Usage

ci.stdmean.ps(alpha, m1, m2, sd1, sd2, cor, n)

Arguments

alpha	alpha level for 1-alpha confidence
m1	estimated mean of measurement 1
m2	estimated mean of measurement 2
sd1	estimated standard deviation of measurement 1
sd2	estimated standard deviation of measurement 2
cor	estimated correlation between measurements
n	sample size

Value

Returns a 3-row matrix. The columns are:

• Estimate - bias adjusted standardized mean difference

• SE - standard error

• LL - lower limit of the confidence interval

• UL - upper limit of the confidence interval
