Compute effect size from binary proportions

Compute effect size from binary proportions

esc_bin_prop(
  prop1event,
  grp1n,
  prop2event,
  grp2n,
  es.type = c("logit", "d", "g", "or", "r", "f", "eta", "cox.d"),
  study = NULL
)

Arguments

prop1event	Proportion of successes in treatment group (proportion of outcome = yes).
grp1n	Treatment group sample size.
prop2event	Proportion of successes in control group (proportion of outcome = yes).
grp2n	Control group sample size.
es.type	Type of effect size that should be returned. "d" returns standardized mean difference effect size d "f" returns effect size Cohen's f "g" returns adjusted standardized mean difference effect size Hedges' g "or" returns effect size as odds ratio "cox.or" returns effect size as Cox-odds ratio (see convert_d2or for details) "logit" returns effect size as log odds "cox.log" returns effect size as Cox-log odds (see convert_d2logit for details) "r" returns correlation effect size r "eta" returns effect size eta squared
study	Optional string with the study name. Using combine_esc or as.data.frame on esc-objects will add this as column in the returned data frame.

Value

The effect size es, the standard error se, the variance of the effect size var, the lower and upper confidence limits ci.lo and ci.hi, the weight factor w and the total sample size totaln.

Note

If es.type = "r", Fisher's transformation for the effect size r and their confidence intervals are also returned.
