ci.pairs.prop.bs: Bonferroni confidence intervals for all pairwise proportion differences in a between-subjects design

Description

Computes adjusted Wald confidence intervals for all pairwise differences of population proportions in a between-subjects design using a Bonferroni adjusted alpha level.

Usage

ci.pairs.prop.bs(alpha, f, n)

Value

Returns a matrix with the number of rows equal to the number of pairwise comparisons. The columns are:

  • Estimate - adjusted estimate of proportion difference

  • 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 simultaneous 1-alpha confidence

f

vector of frequency counts of participants who have the attribute

n

vector of sample sizes
