muTippett {twotrials}R Documentation

Combined estimation function from Tippett's method

Description

This function computes parameter estimates from the combined estimation function based on Tippett's method

Usage

muTippett(a = 0.5, t1, t2, se1, se2, alternative = "greater", ...)

Arguments

a

P-value function quantile corresponding to the parameter estimate. Defaults to 0.5, which corresponds to the median estimate. Set to a = c(0.025, 0.975) to obtain limits of a 95% confidence interval

t1

Parameter estimate from trial 1

t2

Parameter estimate from trial 2

se1

Standard error of the parameter estimate from trial 1

se2

Standard error of the parameter estimate from trial 2

alternative

One-sided alternative hypothesis. Can be either "greater" or "less". Defaults to "greater"

...

Additional arguments (for consistency with other estimation functions)

Value

The parameter estimate based on Tippett's method
