ci.lc.stdmean.ws: Confidence interval for a standardized linear contrast of means in a within-subjects design

Description

Computes confidence intervals for two types of population standardized linear contrast of means (unweighted standardizer and level 1 standardizer) in a within-subjects design. Equality of variances is not assumed, but the correlations among the repeated measures are assumed to be approximately equal.

Usage

ci.lc.stdmean.ws(alpha, m, sd, cor, n, q)

Value

Returns a 2-row matrix. The columns are:

  • Estimate - estimated standardized linear contrast

  • adj Estimate - bias adjusted standardized linear contrast estimate

  • 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 means for levels of within-subjects factor

sd

vector of estimated standard deviations for levels of within-subjects factor

cor

average estimated correlation of all measurement pairs

n

sample size

q

vector of within-subjects contrast coefficients
