ci.mean

Computes a confidence interval for a population mean using the estimated
mean, estimated standard deviation, and sample size. Use the t.test function
for raw data input.
For more details, see Section 1.7 of Bonett (2021, Volume 1)

Implements confidence interval and sample size methods that are especially
useful in psychological research but are also useful in educational, social science,
business, and biological research. This package includes more than 100 confidence
interval functions and more than 80 sample size functions for 1-group, 2-group,
paired-samples, and multiple-group designs and for a variety of parameters including
means, medians, proportions, slopes, standardized mean differences, standardized
linear contrasts of means, and several measures of correlation and association. The
sample size functions can be used to approximate the sample size needed to estimate
a parameter or function of parameters with desired confidence interval precision or
to perform a variety of hypothesis tests (directional two-sided, equivalence,
superiority, noninferiority) with desired power. For details about these methods see:
