Description

Returns the design matrix for a two-phase intervention model.

Usage

hmdesign2(n1, n2)

Arguments

n1

number of obs in phase 1

n2

number of obs in phase 2

It returns a matrix of 4 columns. As discussed in Huitema, Mckean, & Mcknight (1999), in two-phase design: beta0 = intercept, beta1 = slope for Phase 1, beta2 = level change from Phase 1 to Phase 2, and beta3 slope change from Phase 1 to Phase 2.
