sumSqCat: Weighted sum of squared deviations by category, SSC, statistic.

Description

Compute the weighted sum of squared deviations of the group or category response means from the average background.

Usage

sumSqCat(resp, groups, backMean)

Arguments

resp

response values

groups

grouping variables (will be treated as factors)

backMean

mean of background values

Value

weighted sum of squared deviations of group means from background

Details

The SSC statistic is the primary test statistic developed for the changes from background test (CBT) developed in Steinmetz & Thorp (2013).
