Kendall's tau-b with the bias-corrected and accelerated boostrap confidence interval

Described in Chapter 7 "The rxc Table"

Kendalls_tau_b_rxc_bca(n, nboot = 10000, alpha = 0.05)

Arguments

n: the observed table (an rxc matrix)
nboot: number of bootstrap samples
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

set.seed(9974)
Kendalls_tau_b_rxc_bca(table_7.7, nboot = 800)
#> Kendalls tau-b w / BCa bootstrap CI: tau-b = -0.0859 (95% CI -0.1438 to -0.0254)
Kendalls_tau_b_rxc_bca(table_7.8, nboot = 200)
#> Kendalls tau-b w / BCa bootstrap CI: tau-b =  0.5748 (95% CI  0.3661 to  0.6107)
if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
  Kendalls_tau_b_rxc_bca(table_7.9)
} # }
