Computes confidence intervals of standardized effects in a 2x2 within-subjects design

Source: R/statpsych1.R

Computes confidence intervals for standardized linear contrasts of means (AB interaction, main effect of A, main effect of B, simple main effects of A, and simple main effects of B) in a 2x2 within-subjects design. Equality of population variances is not assumed. An unweighted variance standardizer is used.

ci.2x2.stdmean.ws(alpha, y11, y12, y21, y22)

Arguments

alpha

alpha level for 1-alpha confidence

y11

vector of scores at level 1 of A and level 1 of B

y12

vector of scores at level 1 of A and level 2 of B

y21

vector of scores at level 2 of A and level 1 of B

y22

vector of scores at level 2 of A and level 2 of B

Value

Returns a 7-row matrix (one row per effect). The columns are:

  • Estimate - estimated standardized effect

  • adj Estimate - bias adjusted standardized effect estimate

  • SE - standard error

  • LL - lower limit of the confidence interval

  • UL - upper limit of the confidence interval
