attenuate.d: Attenuate a Cohen's d estimate for unreliability in the continuous variable

Description

Measurement error (i.e. the complement of reliability) results in a downward bias of observed effect sizes. This attenuation can be emulated by this function.

Usage

attenuate.d(d, reliability)

Arguments

d

The value of Cohen's d (that would be obtained with perfect measurements)

reliability

The reliability of the measurements of the continuous variable

Value

The attenuated value of Cohen's d
