alpha2crit: Alpha to Critical Values

In jeksterslabds/jeksterslabRboot: Jekster's Lab Linear Bootstrap Utilities

Description

Calculates the z, t, χ^2, or F critical value/s of confidence limits associated with the specified significance level/s ≤ft( α \right) .

Usage

alpha2crit(
  alpha = c(0.001, 0.01, 0.05),
  dist = "z",
  two.tailed = TRUE,
  right.tail = TRUE,
  ...
)

Arguments

alpha	Numeric vector. Significance level ≤ft( α \right) . By default, alpha is set to conventional significance levels alpha = c(0.001, 0.01, 0.05).
dist	Character string. dist = "z" for the standard normal distribution. dist = "t" for the t distribution. dist = "F" for the F distribution. dist = "chisq" for the chi-square distribution.
two.tailed	Logical. If TRUE, two-tailed alpha. If FALSE, one-tailed alpha. Ignored if dist = "F" or dist = "chisq" as both tests are one-tailed using the right tail.
right.tail	Logical. If TRUE, right tail (positive critical value). If FALSE, left tail (negative critical value). Ignored if two.tailed = TRUE. Ignored if dist = "F" or dist = "chisq" as both tests are one-tailed using the right tail.
...	Degrees of freedom. df for dist = "t" and dist = "chisq". df1 and df2 for dist = "F".

Value

Returns z, t, χ^2, or F critical value/s associated with the specified significance level/s ≤ft( α \right). The results are sorted from smallest to largest.
