TOSTtwo.prop: TOST function for two proportions (raw scores)

Description

TOST function for two proportions (raw scores)

Usage

TOSTtwo.prop(prop1, prop2, n1, n2, low_eqbound, high_eqbound, alpha,
  plot = TRUE, verbose = TRUE)

Arguments

prop1

proportion of group 1

prop2

proportion of group 2

n1

sample size in group 1

n2

sample size in group 2

low_eqbound

lower equivalence bounds (e.g., -0.1) expressed in proportions

high_eqbound

upper equivalence bounds (e.g., 0.1) expressed in proportions

alpha

alpha level (default = 0.05)

plot

set whether results should be plotted (plot = TRUE) or not (plot = FALSE) - defaults to TRUE

verbose

logical variable indicating whether text output should be generated (verbose = TRUE) or not (verbose = FALSE) - default to TRUE

Value

Returns TOST z-value 1, TOST p-value 1, TOST z-value 2, TOST p-value 2, low equivalence bound, high equivalence bound, Lower limit confidence interval TOST, Upper limit confidence interval TOST
