es_from_pt_bis_r {metaConvert}

Convert a point-biserial correlation coefficient into several effect size measures

Description

Convert a point-biserial correlation coefficient into several effect size measures

Usage

es_from_pt_bis_r(
  pt_bis_r,
  n_exp,
  n_nexp,
  smd_to_cor = "viechtbauer",
  reverse_pt_bis_r
)

Arguments

pt_bis_r

value of a point-biserial correlation coefficient

n_exp

total number of participants in the exposed group

n_nexp

total number of participants in the non exposed group

smd_to_cor

formula used to convert the pt_bis_r value into a coefficient correlation.

reverse_pt_bis_r

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

Details

This function uses a point-biserial correlation coefficient to estimate a Cohen's d (D) and Hedges' g (G). Odds ratio (OR) and correlation coefficients (R/Z) are then converted from the Cohen's d.

The formula used to obtain the Cohen's d are (Viechtbauer, 2021):

m = n\_exp + n\_nexp - 2

h = \frac{m}{n\_exp} + \frac{m}{n\_nexp}

d = \frac{pt\_bis\_r * \sqrt{h}}{\sqrt{1 - pt\_bis\_r^2}}

To estimate other effect size measures, calculations of the es_from_cohen_d() 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 11. ANOVA statistics, Student's t-test, or point-bis correlation'
