d_to_es: Mean Difference (d) to Effect size

Description

Converts d (mean difference) to an effect size of g (unbiased estimate of d), r (correlation coefficient), z (Fisher's z), and log odds ratio. The variances of these estimates are also computed.

Usage

d_to_es(d, n.1, n.2)

Arguments

d
Mean difference statistic (d).
n.1
Sample size of group one.
n.2
Sample size of group one.

Value

  • dStandardized mean difference (d).
  • var.dVariance of d.
  • gUnbiased estimate of d.
  • var.gVariance of g.
  • rCorrelation coefficient.
  • var.rVariance of r.
  • log_oddsLog odds ratio.
  • var.log_oddsVariance of log odds ratio.
  • nTotal sample size.
