Description

Tests for statistical differences between two dependent correlations using the formula provided on page 56 of Cohen & Cohen (1983). The function returns a t-value, the DF, and the p-value.

Usage

cordif.dep(r.x1y,r.x2y,r.x1x2,n)

Arguments

r.x1y

The correlation between x1 and y where y is typically the outcome variable.

r.x2y

The correlation between x2 and y where y is typically the outcome variable.

r.x1x2

The correlation between x1 and x2 (the correlation between the two predictors).
