R help - May 2022 - bootstrap CI of the difference between 2 Cramer's V

Dear R-experts,

While comparing groups, it is better to assess confidence intervals of those
differences rather than comparing confidence intervals for each group.
I am trying to calculate the CIs of the difference between the two Cramer's
V and not the CI to the estimate of each group?s Cramer's V.

Here below my toy R example. There are error messages. Any help would be highly
appreciated.

I don't know if someone responded offline, but if not, there are a 
couple of problems with your code. ? First, the f3 dataframe is not what 
you think it is.? Second, your cramerdiff function isn't going to 
produce the results that you want.

I would put your data into a single dataframe with a variable 
designating which group data came from.? Then use that variable as the 
strata variable in the boot function to resample within groups.? So 
something like this:

f1 <- data.frame(gender=gender1,color=color1,group='grp1')
f2 <- data.frame(gender=gender2,color=color2,group='grp2')
f3 <- rbind(f1,f2)

cramerdiff <- function(x, ndx) {
 ?? # calculate cramer.v for group 1 bootstrap sample
 ?? g1 <-x[ndx,][x[,3]=='grp1',]
 ?? cramer_g1 <- cramer.v(table(g1[,1:2]))
 ?? # calculate cramer.v for group 2 bootstrap sample
 ?? g2 <-x[ndx,][x[,3]=='grp2',]
 ?? cramer_g2 <- cramer.v(table(g2[,1:2]))
 ?? # calculate difference
 ?? cramer_g1-cramer_g2
 ?? }
# use strata parameter in function boot to resample within each group
results <- boot(data=f3,statistic=cramerdiff, 
strata=as.factor(f3$group),R=2000)
results
boot.ci(results)


Hope this is helpful,

Dan
