A function to calculate the Level Sum Scores (LSS) of the MHQoL

Description

This function calculates the Level Sum Scores (LSS) per dimension of overall of the MHQoL based on the scores of the different dimensions.

Usage

mhqol_LSS(
  dimensions,
  metric = c("average", "total"),
  ignore_invalid = FALSE,
  ignore_NA = TRUE)

Arguments

dimensions	A dataframe, character vector or list containing the dimensions of the MHQoL. Must contain the following dimensions: SI (Self-Image), IN (INdependence), MO (MOod), RE (RElationships), DA (Daily Activities), PH (Physical Health), FU (FUture).
metric	A character value indicating whether to calculate the "total" or "average" LSS.
ignore_invalid	If TRUE, the function will ignore missing dimensions and continue processing. If FALSE, the function will stop and throw an error.
ignore_NA	If TRUE, the function will ignore NA values in the input data. If FALSE, the function will stop and throw an error.

Value

A dataframe containing the LSS based on the MHQoL manual.

Examples

# Example usage of the mhqol_LSS function

# Get the LSS based on a character vector and calculate the total LSS,
# not all dimensions are present
mhqol_LSS(
  dimensions = c(IN = 2, MO = 3, RE = 2, DA = 1, PH = 2, FU = 3),
  metric = "total", ignore_invalid = TRUE)

# Get the LSS based on a dataframe and calculate the average LSS,
# all dimensions are present
mhqol_LSS(
  dimensions =
  data.frame(SI = 1, IN = 2, MO = 3, RE = 2, DA = 1, PH = 2, FU = 3),
  metric = "average")
