prop_to_es: Proportion to Effect Size

Description

Converts proportions (typically seen in studies reporting odds ratio statistics) to an effect size of d (mean difference), 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

prop_to_es(p1, p2, n.ab, n.cd)

Arguments

p1
Proportion one.
p2
Proportion two.
n.ab
Total sample size for group A and B.
n.cd
Total sample size for group C and D.

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.
