In dgbonett/vcmeta: Varying Coefficient Meta-Analysis

Confidence interval for an average proportion difference in paired-samples studies

Description

Computes the estimate, standard error, and confidence interval for an average proportion difference from two or more studies.

Usage

meta.ave.prop.ps(alpha, f11, f12, f21, f22, bystudy = TRUE)

Arguments

alpha	alpha level for 1-alpha confidence
f11	vector of frequency counts in cell 1,1
f12	vector of frequency counts in cell 1,2
f21	vector of frequency counts in cell 2,1
f22	vector of frequency counts in cell 2,2
bystudy	logical to also return each study estimate (TRUE) or not

Value

Returns a matrix. The first row is the average estimate across all studies. If bystudy is TRUE, there is 1 additional row for each study. The matrix has the following columns:

• Estimate - estimated effect size

• SE - standard error

• LL - lower limit of the confidence interval

• UL - upper limit of the confidence interval
