Wrapper to FACDOS

Description

This Function is a wrapper do the DOS version of FACETS (Linacre, 1999).

Usage

immer_FACETS(title=NULL, convergence=NULL, totalscore=NULL, facets=NULL,
  noncenter=NULL,  arrange=NULL,entered_in_data=NULL, models=NULL,
  inter_rater=NULL, pt_biserial=NULL, faire_score=NULL, unexpected=NULL,
  usort=NULL, positive=NULL, labels=NULL, fileinput=NULL, data=NULL,
  path.dosbox=NULL, path.facets="", model.name=NULL, facetsEXE=NULL )

Arguments

title

title of the analysis

convergence

convergence criteria

totalscore

show the total score with each observation

facets

number of specified facets

noncenter

specified the non centered facet here

arrange

control the ordering in each table/output

entered_in_data

optional specification for facets

models

model to be used in the analysis

inter_rater

Specify rater facet number for the agreement report among raters

pt_biserial

correlation between the raw-score for each element

faire_score

intended for communicating the measures as adjusted ratings

unexpected

size of smallest standardized residual

usort

order in which the unexpected observation are listed

positive

specifies which facet is positively oriented

labels

name of each facet, followed by a list of elements

fileinput

optional argument, if your data are stored within a separate file

data

Input of the data in long-format

path.dosbox

Path to the installed DOSBox. If NULL: the function assumed that you have purchased FACETS and would like to use this version (currently only for Windows-User)

path.facets

Path to FACDOS or FACETS if the path.dosbox is "NULL"

model.name

Name of the configuration file for FACETS

facetsEXE

optional argument to specifie specific FACETS.exe

Details

Within the function immer_FACETS it is either possible to pass existing FACETS input files or to specify the Input within the function. To run the estimation in FACETS it is necessary to provide both the path to the DosBox and FACDOS (it is recommended to use the function immer_install for the installation process). After the estimation process is finished the Exports are in the Facets folder.
