NSM3 (version 1.1)

cFrd: Computes a critical value for the Friedman, Kendall-Babington Smith S distribution.

Description

This function computes the critical value for the Friedman, Kendall-Babington Smith S distribution at (or typically in the "Exact" and "Monte Carlo" cases, close to) the given alpha level. The method used to compute the distribution is from the reference by Van de Wiel, Bucchianico, and Van der Laan.

Usage

cFrd(alpha, k, n, method=NA, n.mc=10000)

Value

Returns a list with "NSM3Ch7c" class containing the following components:knumber of treatmentsnnumber of blockscutoff.Uupper tail cutoff at or below user-specified alphatrue.alpha.Utrue alpha level corresponding to cutoff.U (if method="Exact" or "Monte Carlo")
