	nameDV = "DV", Aphase = 0, Bphase = 1)

Arguments

data1

a matrix or a dataframe with time,outcome and phases columns

nameTime

the name of the time column

namePhase

the name of the phase column

nameDV

the name of the dependent variable

Aphase

how phase A was coded in the phases column

Bphase

how phase B was coded in the phases column

Value

A list including partition matrix, full matrix and TAU-U analysis
