varAV: Variance Due to Attenuating Artifacts

In psychometric: Applied Psychometric Theory

Variance Due to Attenuating Artifacts

Description

Since the presence of artifacts may inflate the observed variance in correlations, one needs to compute the variance attributed to the artifacts.

Usage

varAV(x)

Arguments

x	A matrix or data.frame with columns Rxy, n and artifacts (Rxx, Ryy, u): see EnterMeta

Details

varAV is computed as \code{rhoCA}^2 * \code{CAFAA}^2 * \code{CVF}

varAV is used to compute the residual variance in correlations varResT

Value

A numeric value representing the variance due to attenuating artifacts
