Computes confidence intervals of standardized effects in a 2x2 between-subjects design

Description

Computes confidence intervals for standardized linear contrasts of means (AB interaction, main effect of A, main effect of B, simple main effects of A, and simple main effects of B) in a 2x2 between-subjects design with a quantitative response variable. Equality of population variances is not assumed. An unweighted variance standardizer is used, which is the recommended standardizer when both factors are treatment factors.

Usage

ci.2x2.stdmean.bs(alpha, y11, y12, y21, y22)

Arguments

alpha

alpha level for 1-alpha confidence

y11

vector of scores at level 1 of A and level 1 of B

y12

vector of scores at level 1 of A and level 2 of B

y21

vector of scores at level 2 of A and level 1 of B

y22

vector of scores at level 2 of A and level 2 of B

Value

Returns a 7-row matrix (one row per effect). The columns are:
