isop.test

Testing the ISOP Model


Description

This function performs tests of the W1 axiom of the ISOP model (Scheiblechner, 2003). Standard errors of the corresponding W1_i statistics are obtained by Jackknife.

Usage

isop.test(data, jackunits=20, weights=rep(1, nrow(data)))

## S3 method for class 'isop.test'
summary(object,...)

Arguments

data

Data frame with item responses

jackunits

A number of Jackknife units (if an integer is provided as the argument value) or a vector in the Jackknife units are already defined.

weights

Optional vector of sampling weights

object

Object of class isop.test

...

Further arguments to be passed

Value

A list with following entries

itemstat

Data frame with test and item statistics for the W1 axiom. The W1_i statistic is denoted as est while se is the corresponding standard error of the statistic. The sample size per item is N and M denotes the item mean.

Es

Number of concordances per item

Ed

Number of disconcordances per item

The W1_i statistics are printed by the summary method.
