rpt.aov: ANOVA-based Repeatability

In rptR: Repeatability for Gaussian and non-Gaussian data

Description

Repeatability calculations based on Analysis of Variance (ANOVA).

Usage

	rpt.aov(y, groups, CI=0.95, npermut=1000)

Arguments

y	Vector of measurements.
groups	Vector of group identities (will be converted to a factor).
CI	Width of the confidence interval between 0 and 1 (defaults to 0.95).
npermut	Number of permutations used when calculating asymptotic P values (defaults to 1000).

Value

Returns an object of class rpt that is a a list with the following elements:

datatype	Response distribution (here: "Gaussian").
method	Method used to calculate repeatability (here: "ANOVA").
R	Point estimate for the repeatability (denoted as R).
se	Asymptotic standard error for repeatability (ICC) based Becker (1982).
CI	Asymptotic confidence interval for repeatability based on non-parametric bootstrapping.
P	Named vector of two P values (significance tests): P.aov is the P value for the ANOVA F test, P.permut is the permutation based P value.
R.permut	Repeatability R estimates for each permutation run.

Examples

# repeatability estimation for tarsus length - a very high R
data(BodySize)
attach(BodySize)
(rpt.BS <- rpt.aov(Tarsus, BirdID, npermut=10))    # reduced number of npermut iterations
detach(BodySize)

# repeatability estimation for weight (body mass) - a lower R than the previous one
data(BodySize)
attach(BodySize)
(rpt.Weight <- rpt.aov(Weight, BirdID, npermut=10))   # reduced number of npermut iterations
detach(BodySize)
