rliSGP

Wrapper function associated with SGP analyses for Renaissance Learning Incorporated (RLI) interim STAR assessments.

Description

rliSGP is a wrapper function design to expedite SGP analyses on Renaissance Learning Incorporated (RLI) interim STAR assessments.

Usage

rliSGP(
	sgp_object,
    additional.data=NULL,
	state=NULL,
	content_areas=c("MATHEMATICS", "READING", "READING_UNIFIED", "EARLY_LITERACY"),
    testing.window,
    eow.or.update="UPDATE",
	update.save.shell.only=FALSE,
    configuration.year,
	sgp.percentiles.baseline=TRUE,
	sgp.projections.baseline=TRUE,
	sgp.projections.lagged.baseline=FALSE,
	sgp.target.scale.scores=TRUE,
    update.ids=NULL,
	SGPt=TRUE,
	simulate.sgps=FALSE,
	save.intermediate.results=FALSE,
	coefficient.matrices=NULL,
	goodness.of.fit.print=FALSE,
	return.updated.shell=FALSE,
	fix.duplicates="KEEP.ALL",
	eow.calculate.sgps=FALSE,
	score.type="RASCH",
	cutscore.file.name="Cutscores.csv",
    parallel.config=NULL)

Arguments

`sgp_object`	An object of class SGP or a `data.frame` from which an SGP object can be produced. If data.frame is supplied, the current window's data will be created from the last window present in the data.frame.
`additional.data`	Current window's data for UPDATE or EOW (end of window) processing. Can be NULL if new data all fed into argument 'sgp_object' as data.frame.
`state`	Abbreviation for STATE/ORGANIZATION being analyzed. Currently only available for 'RLI' or 'RLI_UK'.
`content_areas`	Character vector indicating which content areas `rliSGP` should be run for ('MATHEMATICS', 'READING', 'READING_UNIFIED', and/or 'EARLY_LITERACY'). Default is all.
`testing.window`	Argument indicating testing window being analyzed. Either 'FALL', 'WINTER', 'SPRING' indicating what testing window's data is being analyzed.
`eow.or.update`	Argument indicating whether end-of-window or within-window updates are being done. Either 'EOW' (end of window) or 'UPDATE' (within window).
`update.save.shell.only`	Boolean argument indicating whether End of Window processing should only produce/save RLI_SGP_UPDATE_SHELL and bypass coefficient matrix production.
`configuration.year`	Year associated with SGP analyses (configuration year) to be used.
`sgp.percentiles.baseline`	Boolean variable passed to `updateSGP` to control whether baseline student growth percentiles are calculated. Default is TRUE.
`sgp.projections.baseline`	Boolean variable passed to `updateSGP` to control whether baseline student growth projections are calculated. Default is TRUE.
`sgp.projections.lagged.baseline`	Boolean variable passed to `updateSGP` to control whether lagged baseline student growth projections are calculated. Default is FALSE.
`sgp.target.scale.scores`	Boolean variable passed to `updateSGP` to control whether scale score targets are calculated. Default is TRUE.
`update.ids`	Argument that allows ID to be updated based upon a supplied two column data frame where the first column represents the ORIGINAL/OLD ID and the second column the NEW ID that is to replace it. NOTE that ID needn't be replaced in either 'sgp_object' nor 'additional.data' that are provided as part of the 'rliSGP' call. Substitution will occur on entire data set before analysis. Default is NULL, no ID replacement is performed.
`SGPt`	Argument indicating whether to perform time dependent SGP (SGPt) analyses. Current default is TRUE based upon transition to SGPt in Summer 2015.
`simulate.sgps`	A Boolean argument indicating whether to calculate SGP standard errors based upon CSEMs provided by either an embedded CSEM-scale score lookup or an embedded variable. Default is FALSE.
`save.intermediate.results`	Boolean variable passed to `updateSGP` indicating whether to save intermediate results from `prepareSGP`, `analyzeSGP`, and `combineSGP` as part of the `rliSGP` analyses.
`coefficient.matrices`	List of baseline matrices to be used for analyses (overrides what exists in `SGPstateData`). Defaults to NULL (use those in `SGPstateData`).
`goodness.of.fit.print`	Boolean argument passed to `updateSGP` indicating whether to print goodness of fit plots associated with outcome. Default is FALSE.
`return.updated.shell`	Boolean argument (defaults to FALSE) indicating whether to return `sgp_object` as part of call to `rliSGP`.
`fix.duplicates`	Character argument (defaults to 'KEEP.ALL') indicating how to deal with duplicates submitted as part of data for analysis. Setting 'fix.duplicates' to null sets no modification of duplicates.
`eow.calculate.sgps`	Boolean argument passed to `updateSGP` further passed to `analyzeSGP` indicating whether student growth percentiles are calculated as part of EOW analyses. Default is FALSE which results in just coefficient matrices being calculated.
`score.type`	Either `RASCH` (default) or `STAR` indicating what type of score is being supplied for analysis. The selection ensures the correct cutscores, matrices, and knots/boundaries are used for analyses.
`cutscore.file.name`	Cutscore file name and path for input and creation of RLI Cutscores. Default is `Cutscores.csv`.
`parallel.config`	Argument passed to `abcSGP` or `updateSGP` to activate parallel processing with an appropriate backend.

Value

Saves relevant results to disc for use in subsequent analyses.
