nap: Nonoverlap of all Pairs

Description

The nap function calculates the nonoverlap of all pairs (NAP; Parker & Vannest, 2009). NAP summarizes the overlap between all pairs of phase A and phase B data points. If an increase of phase B scores is expected, a non-overlapping pair has a higher phase B data point. The NAP equals \(number of pairs showing no overlap / number of pairs\). Because NAP can only take values between 50 and 100 percent, a rescaled and therefore more intuitive NAP (0-100%) is also displayed.

Usage

nap(data, decreasing = FALSE)

Arguments

data

A single-case data frame. See makeSCDF to learn about this format.

decreasing

If you expect data to be lower in the B phase, set decreasing = TRUE. Default is decreasing = FALSE.

Value

NAP

Nonoverlap of all pairs.

% \item{Rescaled NAP}{NAP rescaled to 0-100\%.}
