SCRT (version 1.0)

observed: Observed test statistic

Description

The observed test statistic is calculated from the obtained raw data.

Usage

observed(design, statistic, data = read.table(file.choose(new = FALSE)))

Arguments

design

Type of single-case design: "AB", "ABA", "ABAB", "CRD" (completely randomized design), "RBD" (randomized block design), "ATD" (alternating treatments design), or "MBD"

statistic

Test statistic. For alternation designs, multiple-baseline designs and AB phase designs, there are 3 built-in possibilities: "A-B", "B-A", and "|A-B|", which stand for the (absolute value of the) difference between c

data

File in which the data can be found. Default: a window pops up in which the file can be selected.

Details

When using the default data argument, a window will pop up to ask in what file the data can be found. This text file containing the data should consist of two columns for single-case phase and alternation designs: the first with the condition labels and the second with the obtained scores. For multiple-baseline designs it should consist of these two columns for EACH unit. This way, each row represents one measurement occasion. It is important not to label the rows or columns.
