TOST Correlation

TOST for correlations in jamovi. This function is not meant to be utilized in R.

dataTOSTr(
  data,
  pairs,
  cor_type = "pearson",
  hypothesis = "EQU",
  low_eqbound_r = -0.3,
  high_eqbound_r = 0.3,
  alpha = 0.05,
  desc = FALSE,
  plots = FALSE
)

Arguments

data

the data as a data frame

pairs

a list of vectors of strings naming variables to correlate from data

cor_type

a character string indicating which correlation coefficient is to be used for the test. One of "pearson", "kendall", or "spearman", can be abbreviated.

hypothesis

'EQU' for equivalence (default), or 'MET' for minimal effects test, the alternative hypothesis.

low_eqbound_r

lower equivalence bounds (e.g., -0.3) expressed in a correlation effect size

high_eqbound_r

upper equivalence bounds (e.g., 0.3) expressed in a correlation effect size

alpha

alpha level (default = 0.05)

desc

TRUE or FALSE (default), provide descriptive statistics

plots

TRUE or FALSE (default), provide plots

Value

A results object containing:

results$text					a preformatted
results$tost					a table
results$desc					a table
results$plots					an array of images

Tables can be converted to data frames with asDF or as.data.frame. For example:

results$tost$asDF

as.data.frame(results$tost)
