disattenuate.d: Disattenuate 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 reversed by disattenuation.

Usage

disattenuate.d(d, reliability)

Arguments

d

The (attenuated) value of Cohen's d (i.e. the value as observed in the sample, and therefore attenuated (decreased) by measurement error in the continuous variable).

reliability

The reliability of the measurements of the continuous variable

Value

The disattenuated value of Cohen's d
