Feature request: set category of interest for z test for difference in 2 proportions

Post by chernoff »

It would be helpful if there was an easy way to change the category of interest when conducting the "z test for difference in 2 proportions."

The problem is is that Jamovi makes the bigger number of the categorical variable the category of interest, which isn't always intuitive.

For example, if you have Yes/No data and you use 1=Yes and 0=No, then the hypothesis test is in terms of not having the feature cared about (No).

Clearly we can just transform the variable. But for my undergrads it would be easier if they could just select the category of interest.

i think this is a good idea ... as an interim solution you can just reorder the levels of the variable.
