esc_2x2: Compute effect size from 2 by 2 Contingency Table

Description

Compute effect size from a 2 by 2 frequency table.

Usage

esc_2x2(grp1yes, grp1no, grp2yes, grp2no, es.type = c("logit", "d", "g", "or",
  "r", "cox.d"), study = NULL, ...)

Arguments

grp1yes

Size of treatment group with successes (outcome = yes).

grp1no

Size of treatment group with non-successes (outcome = no).

grp2yes

Size of control group with successes (outcome = yes).

grp2no

Size of control group with non-successes (outcome = no).

es.type

Type of effect size that should be returned.

"d"

returns standardized mean difference effect size d

"g"

returns adjusted standardized mean difference effect size Hedges' g

"or"

returns effect size as odds ratio

"cox.or"

returns effect size as Cox-odds ratio (see esc_d2or for details)

"logit"

returns effect size as log odds

"cox.log"

returns effect size as Cox-log odds (see esc_d2logit for details)

"r"

returns correlation effect size r

study

Optional string with the study name. Using combine_esc or as.data.frame on esc-objects will add this as column in the returned data frame.

...

Other parameters, passed down to further functions. For internal use only, can be ignored.

Value

The effect size es, the standard error se, the variance of the effect size var, the lower and upper confidence limits ci.lo and ci.hi, the weight factor w and the total sample size totaln.
