| Description: | Parametric and nonparametric statistics for single-case design. Regarding nonparametric statistics, the index suggested by Parker, Vannest, Davis and Sauber (2011) <doi:10.1016/j.beth.2010.08.006> was included. It combines both nonoverlap and trend to estimate the effect size of a treatment in a single case design. |

Parker's TAU-U
Description
Nonoverlap and trend for single case research: the TAU-U function of Parker et al. (2011).
Usage
TAU(data1, nameTime = "TIME", namePhase = "DUMMYPHASE",
	nameDV = "DV", Aphase = 0, Bphase = 1)
Arguments
data1 | 
 a matrix or a dataframe with time,outcome and phases columns  | 
nameTime | 
 the name of the time column  | 
namePhase | 
 the name of the phase column  | 
nameDV | 
 the name of the dependent variable  | 
Aphase | 
 how phase A was coded in the phases column  | 
Bphase | 
 how phase B was coded in the phases column  | 
Value
A list including partition matrix, full matrix and TAU-U analysis
