replext_t4_c7.1: Replicate and Extend Simulation Results from Table 4 Cell 7.1

Description

This function is a customized version of 'replext_t4_c1.1', created to replicate and extend the simulation results from Table 4 cell 7.1 of the paper by Dwivedi et al. (2017). It is configured to use different distributions for each group, specifically a lognormal distribution for the first group and a Chi-squared distribution for the second group, aligning with the specific cell conditions.

Usage

replext_t4_c7.1(
  rdist = c("rlnorm", "rchisq"),
  par1_1 = 1,
  par2_1 = 0.6,
  par1_2 = 6,
  par2_2 = 0,
  n1 = c(5, 5, 10),
  n2 = c(5, 10, 10),
  n_simulations = 10000,
  nboot = 1000,
  conf.level = 0.95
)

Value

A data frame with columns for each sample size pair (n1, n2) and the proportions of significant p-values for each test (ST, WT, NPBTT, WRST, PTTa, PTTe).

Arguments

rdist

Vector of distribution types, with the defaults set to 'rlnorm' (lognormal) for the first group and 'rchisq' (Chi-squared) for the second group. Other options include 'rpois' (Poisson) and 'rcauchy' (Cauchy).

par1_1

First parameter (meanlog) for the first group's lognormal distribution, default is 1.

par2_1

Second parameter (sdlog) for the first group's lognormal distribution, default is 0.6.

par1_2

First parameter (df) for the second group's Chi-squared distribution, default is 6.

par2_2

Second parameter for the second group's Chi-squared distribution, typically 0.

n1

Vector of sample sizes for the first group.

n2

Vector of sample sizes for the second group, must be the same length as n1.

n_simulations

Number of simulations to run, default is 10,000.

nboot

Number of bootstrap samples, default is 1000.

conf.level

Confidence level for calculating p-value thresholds, default is 0.95.
