simulate_MB4: Simulate Model MB4 from Pustejovsky, Hedges, & Shadish (2014)

Description

Simulates data from a linear mixed effects model, then calculates REML effect size estimator as described in Pustejovsky, Hedges, & Shadish (2014).

Usage

simulate_MB4(iterations, beta, rho, phi, tau2_ratio, tau_corr, p_const, r_const, design, m, n, MB = TRUE)

Arguments

iterations

number of independent iterations of the simulation

beta

vector of fixed effect parameters

rho

intra-class correlation parameter

phi

autocorrelation parameter

tau2_ratio

ratio of trend variance to intercept variance

tau_corr

correlation between case-specific trends and intercepts

p_const

vector of constants for calculating numerator of effect size

r_const

vector of constants for calculating denominator of effect size

design

design matrix. If not specified, it will be calculated based on m, n, and MB.

m

number of cases. Not used if design is specified.

n

number of measurement occasions. Not used if design is specified.

MB

If true, a multiple baseline design will be used; otherwise, an AB design will be used. Not used if design is specified.

Value

A matrix reporting the mean and variance of the effect size estimates and various associated statistics.
