Description

A function for estimating dyadic interdependence in standard dyadic designs with indistinguishable dyad members and interval responses by means of the pairwise correlation.

Usage

1
   pairwise.correlation(dataset, conf.int=0.95)

Arguments

dataset

Original data with dyadic responses.

conf.int

Confidence level in order to estimate the confidence interval for the rp parameter. It is equal to 0.95 by default

Details

pairwise.correlation estimates dyadic interdependence for any standard dyadic design in which indistinguishable members and interval data are taken into account by means of a pairwise correlation.

Value

pairwise.correlation returns a list containing the following components:

descriptive.statistics

Summary of some descriptive statistics for the dyadic variables.

pairwise.correlation

rp coefficient for the original data.

alpha

Probability of the parameter not included in the interval estimation.

rp.confidence.interval

Lower and upper bounds of the rp parameter estimated at 1-alpha confidence level.

z.value

Statistic value for carrying out the statistical test regarding dyadic nonindependence.

standard.error

Standard error for the rp parameter under the null hypothesis of no dyadic correlation.

two.tailed.p.value

Statistical significance of the z statistic value under the null hypothesis of no dyadic correlation
