res: Correlation coefficient (r) to Effect Size

Description

Converts correlation (r) to an effect size of $d$ (mean difference), $g$ (unbiased estimate of $d$), $r$ (correlation coefficient), \eqn{z'} (Fisher's $z$), and log odds ratio. The variances, confidence intervals and p-values of these estimates are also computed, along with NNT (number needed to treat), U3 (Cohen's $U_(3)$ overlapping proportions of distributions), CLES (Common Language Effect Size) and Cliff's Delta.

Usage

res(r, var.r = NULL, n, level=95, dig=2, id=NULL, data=NULL)

Arguments

Correlation coefficient.

var.r

Variance of r. If value is not reported then leave it blank and variances will be computed based on sample size. Otherwise, enter this value (e.g., r_to_es(.27, var.r = .02, 30).

Total sample size.

level

Confidence level. Default is 95%.

dig

Number of digits to display. Default is 2 digits.

Study identifier. Default is NULL, assuming a scalar is used as input. If input is a vector dataset (i.e., data.frame, with multiple values to be computed), enter the name of the study identifier here.

data

name of data.frame. Default is NULL, assuming a scalar is used as input. If input is a vector dataset (i.e., data.frame, with multiple values to be computed), enter the name of the data.frame here.
