measurement_autolevel | R Documentation |
The generic function measurement_autolevel
changes the measurement
levels of "item" objects to "nominal" or "ordinal", if
the proportion of its values that have labels is above a certain
threshold.
measurement_autolevel(x, ...)
## S4 method for signature 'ANY'
measurement_autolevel(x, ...) # Returns its argument as is
## S4 method for signature 'item.vector'
measurement_autolevel(x,
to=getOption("measurement.adapt.default","nominal"),
threshold=getOption("measurement.adapt.threshold",.75),
...)
## S4 method for signature 'data.set'
measurement_autolevel(x,
to=getOption("measurement.adapt.default","nominal"),
threshold=getOption("measurement.adapt.threshold",.75),
except=NULL,
only=NULL,
...)
