convert.cer.to.d: Helper functions for Numbers Needed for Change

Description

These functions are used by behaviorchange::nnc() to compute the Numbers Needed for Change, but are also available for manual use.

Usage

convert.cer.to.d(cer, eer, eventDesirable = TRUE, eventIfHigher = TRUE)
convert.d.to.eer(d, cer, eventDesirable = TRUE, eventIfHigher = TRUE)
convert.d.to.nnc(d, cer, r = 1, eventDesirable = TRUE,
  eventIfHigher = TRUE)
convert.eer.to.d(eer, cer, eventDesirable = TRUE, eventIfHigher = TRUE)

Arguments

cer

The Control Event Rate.

eer

The Experimental Event Rate.

eventDesirable

Whether an event is desirable or undesirable.

eventIfHigher

Whether scores above or below the threshold are considered 'an event'.

d

The value of Cohen's d.

r

The correlation between the determinant and behavior (for mediated Numbers Needed for Change).

Value

The converted value.
