npboottprmFBar

The goal of ‘npboottprmFBar’ is to implement the nonparametric bootstrap test with pooled resampling method (as presented in Dwivedi, Mallawaarachchi, and Alvarado (2017)) for informative hypothesis testing (as implemented in ‘restriktor’ and outlined in Vanbrabant and Rosseel (2020)).

Installation

You can install the released version of ‘npboottprmFBar’ from CRAN:

install.packages("npboottprmFBar")

To install the development version of ‘npboottprmFBar’ from GitHub:

# install.packages("pak")
pak::pak("mightymetrika/npboottprmFBar")

An iris example

The following example demonstrates how to use the bootFbar() function to conduct an informative hypothesis test.

library(npboottprmFBar)

res <- bootFbar(data = iris, formula = Sepal.Length ~ -1 + Species,
                grp = "Species",
                constraints = 'Speciessetosa < Speciesversicolor < Speciesvirginica',
                nboot = 10, conf.level = 0.95, seed = NULL, na_rm = FALSE)

paste0("Type B Test: ", res$pvalueB)
#> [1] "Type B Test: 1"
paste0("Type A Test: ", res$pvalueA)
#> [1] "Type A Test: 0"

The non-significant Type B test followed by the significant Type A test is evidence in favor the order-constrained hypothesis
