overlapSC: Overlap indices for single-case data

Description Usage Arguments Value Author(s) See Also Examples

View source: R/overlapSC.R

Description

The overlapSC function provides the most common overlap indices for single-case data and some additional statistics.

Usage

1
overlapSC(data, dvar, pvar, mvar, decreasing = FALSE, phases = c(1, 2))

Arguments

data

A single-case data frame. See scdf to learn about this format.

dvar

Character string with the name of the dependent variable. Defaults to the attributes in the scdf file.

pvar

Character string with the name of the phase variable. Defaults to the attributes in the scdf file.

mvar

Character string with the name of the measurement time variable. Defaults to the attributes in the scdf file.

decreasing

If you expect data to be lower in the B phase, set decreasing = TRUE. Default is decreasing = FALSE.

phases

A vector of two characters or numbers indicating the two phases that should be compared. E.g., phases = c("A","C") or phases = c(2,4) for comparing the second to the fourth phase. Phases could be combined by providing a list with two elements. E.g., phases = list(A = c(1,3), B = c(2,4)) will compare phases 1 and 3 (as A) against 2 and 4 (as B). Default is phases = c("A","B").

Value

overlap

A data frame consisting of the following indices for each single-case for all cases: PND, PEM, PET, NAP, PAND, Tau-U (A vs. B - Trend A), Diff_mean, Diff_trend, SMD.

phases.A

Selection for A phase.

phases.B

Selection for B phase.

design

Phase design.
