[R] Nonparametric Effect size indices

[Martin Plöderl]

Hello!

For comparing two non-normally distributed samples, Leech (2002) suggested
to report nonparametric effect size indices, such as Vargha  Delaney's A or
Cliff's d. I tried to search the R-sites, but could not find related
procedures or packages that include nonparametric effect sizes. 
Thank you for your help!

[R] Multinomial Response Variable: Estimating the parameters

[Martin Plöderl]

Hello!
In a dyslexia-spelling-study we have a multinomial response variable 
with four categories.
There are 12 subjects. Each subject was tested on 30 words, i.e. there 
are 30 responses for each subject.
We are interested in estimating the parameters pi1, pi2, pi3, pi4, if 
possible point estimates and confidence intervals.
Is there a possibility in R to conduct this analysis?
