subscore.Wainer | R Documentation |
This function estimates subscores using Wainer's augmentation method (Wainer et. al., 2001) <doi:10.4324/9781410604729>. The central idea of this procedure is that, the estimation of subscores will be improved by shrinking the individual observed subscores towards some aggregate values (i.e., group mean subscores). The extent of the shrinkage depends on the closeness of the subscale being estimated with other subscales as well as reliabilities of all the subscales. Wainer's augmentation is a multivariate version of Kelly's formula (Kelly, 1947) <https://www.hup.harvard.edu/catalog.php?isbn=9780674330009>. For details of Wainer's augmentation subscoring method, please refer to Wainer et al. (2001) <doi:10.4324/9781410604729>.
