ci.ratio.median2 {statpsych} | R Documentation |
Computes a confidence interval for a ratio of population medians of ratio-scale measurements in a 2-group design.
ci.ratio.median2(alpha, y1, y2)
alpha |
alpha level for 1-alpha confidence |
y1 |
vector of scores for group 1 |
y2 |
vector of scores for group 2 |
Returns a 1-row matrix. The columns are:
Median1 - estimated median from group 1
Median2 - estimated median from group 2
Median1/Median2 - estimated ratio of medians
LL - lower limit of the confidence interval
UL - upper limit of the confidence interval
