spearmanBrown: Spearman-Brown correction
Perform a Spearman-Brown correction on the provided correlation score.
Description
Spearman-Brown correction
Perform a Spearman-Brown correction on the provided correlation score.
Usage
spearmanBrown(r, ntests = 2, fix.negative = c("mirror", "nullify", "none"))Value
Spearman-Brown corrected correlation coefficients.
Arguments
- r
To-be-corrected correlation coefficient.
- ntests
An integer indicating how many times larger the full test is,
for which the corrected correlation coefficient is being computed.
- fix.negative
How will negative input values be dealt with?
"mirror" submits the absolute correlations to the formula
and restores the original sign afterwards.
"nullify" sets negative correlations to zero.
"none" leaves them as-is (not recommended).
Details
When ntests=2, the formula will compute what the correlation coefficient would be
if the test were twice as long.
