CIrdif: Confidence Interval for the difference in Correlation Coefficients

Description

Will construct the CI for a difference in two correlations for a desired level

Usage

CIrdif(r1, r2, n1, n2, level = 0.95)

Arguments

r1
Correlation 1
r2
Correlation 2
n1
Sample size for r1
n2
Sample size for r2
level
Significance Level for constructing the CI, default is .95

Value

Returns a table with 4 elements
DifR
Observed Difference in correlations
SED
Standard error of the difference
LCL
Lower Confidence Limit of the CI
UCL
Upper Confidence Limit of the CI

Details

Constructs a confidence interval based on the standard error of the difference of two correlations $(r1 - r2)$, sed $<- sqrt((1-r1^2)/n1 + (1-r2^2)/n2) $
