prefmod: Utilities to Fit Paired Comparison Models for Preferences

Description

Generates design matrix for analysing real paired comparisons and derived paired comparison data (Likert-type items/ratings or rankings) using a loglinear approach. Fits loglinear Bradley-Terry model (LLBT) exploiting an eliminate feature. Computes pattern models for paired comparisons, rankings, and ratings. Some treatment of missing values (MCAR and MNAR). Fits pattern mixture models using a non-parametric ML approach.

Examples

# mini example with three Likert items and two subject covariates

# using example data "xmpl" in the package
dsgnmat <- patt.design(xmpl, nitems = 3, resptype = "rating",
    ia = TRUE, cov.sel = "ALL")
head(dsgnmat)

# fit of Critchlov & Fligner (1991) Salad Dressings Data
pattR.fit(salad, nitems = 4)

# alternatively use glm() with patt.design()
sal <- patt.design(salad, nitems = 4, resptype = "ranking")
glm(y ~ A+B+C+D, data = sal, family = poisson)
