View source: R/boot.ratio.sd.per.R
Obtains an independent-samples confidence interval and (optionally) performs an independent-samples hypothesis test for the ratio of two population standard deviations, using the percentile bootstrap method.

x |
a numeric vector of observations of the variable (stacked case) or a numeric vector of data values representing the first of the two samples (unstacked case). |
y |
a vector of corresponding population identifiers (stacked case) or a numeric vector of data values representing the second of the two samples (unstacked case). |
stacked |
a logical value (default TRUE) indicating whether the data are stacked. |
variable |
an optional string that gives the name of the variable under consideration; ignored if stacked is TRUE. |
null.hyp |
the null-hypothesis value; if omitted, no hypothesis test is performed. |
alternative |
a character string specifying the alternative hypothesis; must be one of "two.sided" (default), "greater", or "less". |
conf.level |
the confidence level (between 0 and 1); default is 0.95. |
type |
a character string specifying the type of CI; if user supplied, must be one of "two-sided", "upper-bound", or "lower-bound"; defaults to "two-sided" if alternative is "two.sided", "upper-bound" if alternative is "less", and "lower-bound" if alternative is "greater". |
R |
the number of bootstrap replications; default is 9999. |
A list with class "boot.two" containing the following components:
Stacked |
a logical indicating whether the data are stacked (TRUE) or not (FALSE). |
Boot.values |
the point estimates for the ratio of the standard deviations obtained from the bootstrap. |
Confidence.limits |
the confidence limit(s) for the confidence interval. |
Parameter |
the parameter under consideration, here standard deviation. |
Header |
the main title for the output. |
Variable |
the name of the variable under consideration or NULL |
Pop.1 |
the first population. |
Pop.2 |
the second population. |
n.1 |
the sample size for the first population. |
n.2 |
the sample size for the second population. |
Statistic |
the name of the statistic, here ratio.sd. |
Observed.1 |
the observed point estimate for the standard deviation of the first population. |
Observed.2 |
the observed point estimate for the standard deviation of the second population. |
Observed |
the observed point estimate for the ratio of the two standard deviations. |
Replications |
the number of bootstrap replications. |
Mean |
the mean of the bootstrap values. |
SE |
the standard deviation of the bootstrap values. |
Bias |
the difference between the mean of the bootstrap values and the observed value. |
Percent.bias |
the percentage bias: 100*|Bias/Observed|. |
Null |
the null-hypothesis value or NULL. |
Alternative |
the alternative hypothesis or NULL. |
P.value |
the P-value or a statement like P < 0.001 or NULL. |
p.value |
the P-value or NULL. |
Level |
the confidence level. |
Type |
the type of confidence interval. |
Confidence.interval |
the confidence interval. |
This routine should be used only when bias is small and the sampling distribution is roughly symmetric, as indicated by the output of the bootstrap. Otherwise, use the BCa version.
