Length, width, and height measurements for Thurstone's 20 boxes

Description

Length, width, and height measurements for Thurstone's 20 hypothetical boxes

Usage

data(Box20)

Format

A data set of measurements for Thurstone's 20 hypothetical boxes. The data set includes three variables:

• x Box length

• y Box width

• z Box height

Examples

data(Box20)

hist(Box20$x,
     main = "Histogram of Box Lengths",
     xlab = "Length",
     col = "blue")

# To create the raw data for Thurstone's 20 hypothetical 
# box attributes:
data(Box20)
 ThurstoneBox20 <- GenerateBoxData(XYZ = Box20,
                                 BoxStudy = 20,
                                 Reliability = 1,
                                 ModApproxErrVar = 0)$BoxData  

RThurstoneBox20 <- cor(ThurstoneBox20)   

# Smooth matrix to calculate factor indeterminacy values
RsmThurstoneBox20 <- smoothBY(RThurstoneBox20)$RBY

fout <- faMain(R = RsmThurstoneBox20,
              numFactors = 3,
              rotate = "varimax",
              facMethod = "faregLS",
              rotateControl = list(numberStarts = 100,
                                   maxItr =15000))

# Note that given the small ratio of subjects to variables,
# it is not possible to generate data for this example with model error 
# (unless SampleSize is increased).
