get.alpha.error {JATSdecoder}

get.alpha.error

Description

Extracts reported and corrected alpha error from text and 1-alpha confidence intervalls.

Usage

get.alpha.error(x, p2alpha = TRUE, output = "list")

Arguments

x

text string to process.

p2alpha

Logical. If TRUE detects and extracts alpha errors denoted with a critical p-value (may lead to some false positive detections).

output

One of c("list","vector"). If output="list" returns a list containing: alpha_error,
corrected_alpha, alpha_from_CI, alpha_max, alpha_min. If output="vector" returns unique alpha errors but no distinction of types.

Value

Numeric. Vector with identified alpha-error/s.

Examples

x<-c("The threshold for significance was adjusted to .05/2",
"Type 1 error rate was alpha=.05.")
get.alpha.error(x)
x<-c("We used p<.05 as level of significance.",
     "We display .95 CIs and use an adjusted alpha of .10/3.",
     "The effect was significant with p<.025.")
get.alpha.error(x)
