Equivalence Test for 2x2 Crossover Design

Graphs - Equivalence Plot

  

The equivalence plot summarizes the results of the test. If the CI (confidence interval) for the difference between the means is within your equivalence limits, then you can claim that the means are equivalent.

Example Output

Interpretation

For the antacid data, the CI for the difference is not completely within the equivalence interval. The CI extends beyond the lower equivalence limit of -0.425. Thus you cannot conclude that the two antacids are equally effective at raising stomach pH.
