es_from_ancova_t_pval {metaConvert}

Convert a two-tailed p-value of an ANCOVA t-test into several effect size measures.

Description

Convert a two-tailed p-value of an ANCOVA t-test into several effect size measures.

Usage

es_from_ancova_t_pval(
  ancova_t_pval,
  cov_outcome_r,
  n_cov_ancova,
  n_exp,
  n_nexp,
  smd_to_cor = "viechtbauer",
  reverse_ancova_t_pval
)

Arguments

ancova_t_pval

a two-tailed p-value of a t-test in an ANCOVA (binary predictor)

cov_outcome_r

correlation between the outcome and covariate(s) (multiple correlation when multiple covariates are included in the ANCOVA model).

n_cov_ancova

number of covariates in the ANCOVA model.

n_exp

number of participants in the experimental/exposed group.

n_nexp

number of participants in the non-experimental/non-exposed group.

smd_to_cor

formula used to convert the adjusted cohen_d value into a coefficient correlation (see details).

reverse_ancova_t_pval

a logical value indicating whether the direction of the generated effect sizes should be flipped.

Details

This function converts the p-value of an ANCOVA (binary predictor) into a t value, and then relies on the calculations of the es_from_ancova_t() function.

To convert the p-value into a t-value, the following formula is used (table 12.3 in Cooper):

df = n\_exp + n\_nexp + n\_exp - 2 - n\_cov\_ancova

t = | pt(ancova\_f\_pval/2, df = df) |

Then, calculations of the es_from_ancova_t() are applied.

Value

This function estimates and converts between several effect size measures.

natural effect size measure	D + G
converted effect size measure	OR + R + Z
required input data	See 'Section 18. Adjusted: ANCOVA statistics, eta-squared'
