meta.lc.propratio2.Rd
Computes the estimate, standard error, and confidence interval for an exponentiated log-linear contrast of 2-group proportion ratios from two or more studies.
meta.lc.propratio2(alpha, f1, f2, n1, n2, v)
alpha level for 1-alpha confidence
vector of group 1 frequency counts
vector of group 2 frequency counts
vector of group 1 sample sizes
vector of group 2 sample sizes
vector of contrast coefficients
Returns 1-row matrix with the following columns:
Estimate - estimated log-linear contrast
SE - standard error of log-linear contrast
exp(Estimate) - exponentiated log-linear contrast
exp(LL) - lower limit of the exponentiated confidence interval
exp(UL) - upper limit of the exponentiated confidence interval
