welchADF (version 0.3.2)

adhdData: Children's reaction times (milliseconds) to stimuli of different nature, arranged with four response columns.

Description

The data (Keselman et al., 2003) represent the reaction times in milliseconds of children with attention-deficit hyperactivity (ADHD) and normal children when they are presented four kinds of inputs: a target alone or an arrow stimuli incongruent, congruent and neutral to the target. According to the authors, the dataset was artificially generated from the summary measures given in the original study by Jonkman et al. (1999), in groups of 20 and 10 children to create an unbalanced design.

Usage

adhdData

Format

A data frame with 30 rows and 5 variables:

Group

whether the child has ADHD or is healty (normal)

.

TargetAlone

Reaction time (milliseconds) to a target alone.

Congruent

Reaction time (milliseconds) to a congruent stimulus.

Neutral

Reaction time (milliseconds) to a neutral stimulus.

Incongruent

Reaction time (milliseconds) to an incongruent stimulus.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
# Assuming a multivariate response
omnibus_LSM_multi <- welchADF.test(adhdData, response = c("TargetAlone", "Congruent",
  "Neutral", "Incongruent"), between.s = "Group", within.s = "multivariate", contrast = "omnibus")
# The same using the S3 method for class formula
omnibus_LSM_multi_form <- welchADF.test(cbind(TargetAlone, Congruent, Neutral, Incongruent)
~ Group, data = adhdData)
  
# Pairwise comparisons of the implicit within-subjects effect present in the multivariate response
pairwise_LSM_multi <- update(omnibus_LSM_multi, contrast = "all.pairwise", effect = "multivariate")
summary(omnibus_LSM_multi)
