Computes a distribution-free confidence interval for a linear contrast of medians in a between-subjects design using estimated medians and their standard errors. The sample median and standard error for each group can be computed using the ci.median function.
ci.lc.median.bs(alpha, m, se, v)
Returns a 1-row matrix. The columns are:
Estimate - estimated linear contrast of medians
SE - standard error
LL - lower limit of the confidence interval
UL - upper limit of the confidence interval
alpha level for 1-alpha confidence
vector of estimated group medians
vector of estimated group standard errors
vector of between-subjects contrast coefficients
