ci.sign: Confidence interval for the parameter of the one-sample sign test

Description

Computes an adjusted Wald interval for the population proportion of quantitative scores that are greater than the null hypothesis value of the population median in a one-sample sign test. This proportion is a measure of effect size that can be reported along with the sign test.

Usage

ci.sign(alpha, y, h)

Value

Returns a 1-row matrix. The columns are:

  • Estimate - adjusted estimate of proportion

  • SE - adjusted standard error

  • LL - lower limit of adjusted Wald confidence interval

  • UL - upper limit of adjusted Wald confidence interval

Arguments

alpha

alpha level for 1-alpha confidence

y

vector of y scores

h

null hypothesis value for population median

Run this code
y <- c(30, 20, 15, 10, 10, 60, 20, 25, 20, 30, 10, 5, 50, 40, 20, 10,
        0, 20, 50)
ci.sign(.05, y, 9)

# Should return:
# Estimate        SE        LL        UL
# 0.826087 0.0790342 0.6711828 0.9809911
