replext_t2_c4.2 {npboottprm}

Replicate and Extend Simulation Results from Table 2 Cell 4.2

Description

This function is designed to replicate and extend the simulation results from Table 2 cell block 4.2 in the paper by Dwivedi et al. (2017). It is tailored for scenarios with unequal sample sizes, same skewed distribution, but different variances between the two groups. The function acts as a wrapper around replext_t2_c1.1, setting specific skewness parameters, variances, and sample sizes as described in the cell.

Usage

replext_t2_c4.2(
  M1 = 5,
  S1 = 1,
  M2 = 5,
  S2 = 3,
  Sk1 = 0.8,
  Sk2 = 0.8,
  n1 = c(4, 3, 5, 4, 6, 4, 3, 4, 5, 6),
  n2 = c(2, 4, 3, 5, 3, 6, 7, 11, 10, 9),
  n_simulations = 10000,
  nboot = 1000,
  conf.level = 0.95
)

Arguments

M1

Mean for the first group, default is 5.

S1

Standard deviation for the first group, default is 1.

M2

Mean for the second group, default is 5.

S2

Standard deviation for the second group, default is 3.

Sk1

Skewness parameter for the first group, default is 0.8.

Sk2

Skewness parameter for the second group, default is 0.8.

n1

Vector of sample sizes for the first group.

n2

Vector of sample sizes for the second group, designed for unequal sample sizes.

n_simulations

Number of simulations to run, default is 10,000.

nboot

Number of bootstrap samples, default is 1000.

conf.level

Confidence level for calculating p-value thresholds, default is 0.95.

Value

A data frame with columns for each sample size pair (n1, n2) and the proportions of significant p-values for each test (ST, WT, NPBTT, WRST, PTT).
