In autoFC: Automatic Toolkit for Construction, Optimization, Scoring and Simulation of Forced-Choice Tests

Create Target Pair Distribution for Scale-Level Fit

Description

Create Target Pair Distribution for Scale-Level Fit

Usage

build_target_dist(
  traits,
  total_pairs,
  equal_mixed_ratio = c(1, 1),
  allow_same_trait = FALSE
)

Arguments

traits	A character vector of unique trait names (e.g., c("O", "C", "E", "A", "N")).
total_pairs	Integer. The total number of pairs your test will generate.
equal_mixed_ratio	Numeric vector of length 2. The desired ratio of "equal" keyed pairs to "mixed" keyed pairs (e.g., c(1, 1) for 50/50 split).
allow_same_trait	Logical. Do we allow items measuring the same traits to be paired together?

Value

A flexible data frame containing target counts for the SA algorithm.
