ci.lc.median.bs: Confidence interval for a linear contrast of medians in a between-subjects design

Description

Computes a distribution-free confidence interval for a linear contrast of medians in a between-subjects design using estimated medians and their standard errors. The sample median and standard error for each group can be computed using the ci.median function.

Usage

ci.lc.median.bs(alpha, m, se, v)

Value

Returns a 1-row matrix. The columns are:

  • Estimate - estimated linear contrast of medians

  • SE - standard error

  • LL - lower limit of the confidence interval

  • UL - upper limit of the confidence interval

Arguments

alpha

alpha level for 1-alpha confidence

m

vector of estimated group medians

se

vector of estimated group standard errors

v

vector of between-subjects contrast coefficients

Examples

Run this code
m <- c(46.13, 29.19, 30.32, 49.15)
se <- c(6.361, 5.892, 4.887, 6.103)
v <- c(1, -1, -1, 1)
ci.lc.median.bs(.05, m, se, v)

# Should return:
# Estimate       SE       LL       UL
#    35.77 11.67507 12.88727 58.65273
