CVp2CV function

Decompose CV(T) and CV(R) from 'pooled' CV of T/R

Helper function to calculate CV(T) and CV(R) from a pooled CV(T/R) assuming a ratio of the intra-subject variances.

CVp2CV(CV, ratio = 1.5)

Arguments

• CV: pooled CV of T and R (as ratio, not percent).

• ratio: Ratio of the intra-subject variances s^2(T)/s^2(R).

  May be a vector.

Details

In case of knowing only the CV(T/R) f.i. from an ordinary cross-over you can calculate the components CV(T) and CV(R) assuming a ratio of the intra-subject variances.

The formula the function is based on:

log(1.0 + CV^2) = (sWT^2 + sWR^2)/2

Insert sWT^2 = ratio * sWR^2 and solve for sWR^2.

Returns

Returns a numeric vector of the CV values for Test and Reference if only one ratio is given.

Returns a matrix with named columns CVwT and CVwR if ratio is given as vector.
