Confidence intervals for a paired-samples standardized mean difference

Description

Computes confidence intervals for a population standardized mean difference in a paired-samples design. A square root unweighted variance standardizer and single measurement standard deviation standardizers are used. Equality of variances is not assumed.

Usage

ci.stdmean.ps(alpha, m1, m2, sd1, sd2, cor, n)

Arguments

alpha

alpha level for 1-alpha confidence

m1

estimated mean for measurement 1

m2

estimated mean for measurement 2

sd1

estimated standard deviation for measurement 1

sd2

estimated standard deviation for measurement 2

cor

estimated correlation between measurements

n

sample size

Value

Returns a 3-row matrix. The columns are:
