Item Lift

Description

The lift is a commonly used index in a POS data analysis. The item lift of Item k to Item j is defined as follow: l_{jk} = \frac{p_{k\mid j}}{p_k} This function is applicable only to binary response data.

Usage

ItemLift(U, na = NULL, Z = NULL, w = NULL)

## Default S3 method:
ItemLift(U, na = NULL, Z = NULL, w = NULL)

## S3 method for class 'binary'
ItemLift(U, na = NULL, Z = NULL, w = NULL)

Arguments

U	Either an object of class "exametrika" or raw data. When raw data is given, it is converted to the exametrika class with the dataFormat function.
na	Values to be treated as missing values.
Z	Missing indicator matrix of type matrix or data.frame. Values of 1 indicate observed responses, while 0 indicates missing data.
w	Item weight vector specifying the relative importance of each item.

Value

A matrix of item lift values with exametrika class. Each element (j,k) represents the lift value of item k given item j, which indicates how much more likely item k is to be correct given that item j was answered correctly.

Note

This function is implemented using a binary data compatibility wrapper and will raise an error if used with polytomous data.
