Kendall's tau-b with confidence interval based on the Fieller standard deviation

Described in Chapter 7 "The rxc Table"

Kendalls_tau_b_rxc(n, alpha = 0.05)

Arguments

n: the observed table (an rxc matrix)
alpha: the nominal significance level, used to compute a 100(1-alpha)% confidence interval

Value

An object of the contingencytables_result class, basically a subclass of base::list(). Use the utils::str() function to see the specific elements returned.

Examples

Kendalls_tau_b_rxc(table_7.7)
#> Kendalls tau-b w / Fieller CI: tau-b = -0.0859 (95% CI -0.1318 to -0.0397)
Kendalls_tau_b_rxc(table_7.8)
#> Kendalls tau-b w / Fieller CI: tau-b =  0.5748 (95% CI  0.4934 to  0.6462)
Kendalls_tau_b_rxc(table_7.9)
#> Kendalls tau-b w / Fieller CI: tau-b =  0.3077 (95% CI  0.2833 to  0.3318)
