Description

Computes an adjusted Wald confidence interval for a linear contrast of population proportions in a between-subjects design.

Usage

ci.lc.prop.bs(alpha, f, n, v)

Value

Returns a 1-row matrix. The columns are:

  • Estimate - adjusted estimate of proportion linear contrast

  • SE - adjusted standard error

  • z - z test statistic

  • p - two-sided p-value

  • LL - lower limit of the adjusted Wald confidence interval

  • UL - upper limit of the adjusted Wald confidence interval

Arguments

alpha

alpha level for 1-alpha confidence

f

vector of frequency counts of participants who have the attribute

n

vector of sample sizes

v

vector of between-subjects contrast coefficients
