Statistical analysis includes two example R scripts: 1) sample size determination using a pilot data and 2) statistical analysis for a pivotal study. These R scripts have been tested with versions 4.3.1 and 4.4.1. Pre-installation of the iMRMC application is NOT recommended for the use of these scripts.

This demo also includes supporting material in sample_size_4rm_pilot_study/ and helper R functions in iMRMC_2AFC/.

This script performs sample size determination for a split-plot design, as detailed in Section IV in the supplementary material of our DLMO paper. To run the script, simply execute sample_size_est_BDG.R. To use your own pilot data, replace pilot_data.csv with your dataset following the same format, and update the DLMO proportion correct and its variance in sample_size_est_BDG.R.

This script conducts a similarity test to assess whether our DLMO performs comparably to human readers within a predefined margin of 0.1 in proportion correct. To run the script, simply execute similarity_test.R. To use it for your own project, update the ‘DLMO reading results’ section in similarity_test.R and provide reading scores in the reading_scores folder following the same format.
