SD_within_from_SD_r: Within-Group Standard Deviation for Matched Groups

Description

Computes the within-group standard deviation for matched groups. This within-group standard deviation can be used to calculate standardized mean differences for matched groups. This method requires a correlation coefficient r.

Usage

SD_within_from_SD_r(SD_diff, r)

Value

Within standard deviation

Arguments

SD_diff

standard deviation of the difference

r

correlation between pair of observations
