SpecifyCoefficient: SpecifyCoefficient

In cmm: Categorical Marginal Models

Description

Gives the generalized exp-log specification for various coefficients

Usage

SpecifyCoefficient(name, arg = NULL, rep = 1, data = NULL)

Arguments

name	character: name of desired coefficient
arg	an argument specific to the coefficient, e.g., a vector of scores or number of rows and colums.
data	data set. Necessary for MEL estimation
rep	number of repetitions of the coefficient

Details

Currently the following coefficients are implemented:

 SpecifyCoefficient("Mean",arg = scores)
 SpecifyCoefficient("Variance", arg = scores)
 SpecifyCoefficient("StandardDeviation", arg = scores)
 SpecifyCoefficient("GiniMeanDifference", arg = scores)
 SpecifyCoefficient("Entropy", arg = k)
 SpecifyCoefficient("DiversityIndex", arg = k)
 SpecifyCoefficient("Covariance",arg = list(xscores,yscores))
 SpecifyCoefficient("Correlation",arg = list(xscores,yscores))
 SpecifyCoefficient("KendallTau",arg = list(r,c))
 SpecifyCoefficient("GoodmanKruskalGammma",arg = list(r,c))
 SpecifyCoefficient("CohenKappa",r)
 SpecifyCoefficient("CronbachAlpha",arg = list(items,item.scores), data = X) 
 SpecifyCoefficient("Hij")
 SpecifyCoefficient("DifferenceInProportions",arg = m)
 SpecifyCoefficient("LogOddsRatio")
 SpecifyCoefficient("LoglinearParameters",arg = dim)
 SpecifyCoefficient("Probabilities",arg = dim)
 SpecifyCoefficient("LogProbabilities",arg = dim)
 SpecifyCoefficient("ConditionalProbabilities",arg = list(var,condvar,dim))
 SpecifyCoefficient("AllMokkenHj", arg = list(items,item.scores), data = X)
 SpecifyCoefficient("MokkenH", arg = list(items,item.scores), data = X)
 SpecifyCoefficient("OrdinalLocation-A", arg = arg)
 SpecifyCoefficient("OrdinalLocation-L", arg = arg)
 SpecifyCoefficient("OrdinalDispersion-A", arg = arg)
 SpecifyCoefficient("OrdinalDispersion-L", arg = arg)

Here, scores is a score vector, e.g., c(1,2,3,4,5); k is the number of cells in a table; r is the number of rows and columns of a square table; dim is the dimension of the table; items are the columns in the data matrix that should be used for compuing the statistic; item.scores is the number of item scores (e.g., 2 for dichotomous items, or 5 for Likert items); X is the NxJ data matrix. "LoglinearParameters" gives the highest order loglinear parameters (loglinear parameters can also be obtained as output of SampleStatistics, ModelStatistics or MarginalModelFit by setting ShowParameters=TRUE and the coefficients equal to log probabilities.

Value

output is of the form list(matlist,funlist) where matlist is a list of matrices and funlist is a list of function names, which can currently be "log", "exp", "identity", "xlogx" (i.e., f(x) = x log(x)), "xbarx" (i.e., f(x)=x(1-x)), "sqrt"
