cueValidityAppliedToColumns: Calculate the cue validity for the cols_to_fit columns.

In heuristica: Heuristics Including Take the Best and Unit-Weight Linear

Description

This returns only the cue validities, without reversing when a cue points in the wrong direction– e.g. education is negatively associated with number of felonies, so we should use LESS education as a predictor. Use cueValidityComplete for help with that.

Usage

cueValidityAppliedToColumns(
  data,
  criterion_col,
  cols_to_fit,
  replaceNanWith = 0.5
)

Arguments

data	The matrix or data.frame whose columns are treated as cues.
criterion_col	The index of the column used as criterion.
cols_to_fit	A vector of indexes of the columns to calculate cue validity for.
replaceNanWith	The value to return as cue validity in case it cannot be calculated.

Value

A list where $cue_validities has a vector of validities for each of the columns in cols_to_fit.
