centerESM: Center variables in ESM data

In PeterVerboon/lagnetw: The package builds a network for ESM data

Description

Group centering or grand-mean centering the specified variables and optionally add them to the data

Usage

centerESM(data, subjnr = NULL, addmeans = TRUE, varnames = NULL, center = NULL)

Arguments

data	data frame
subjnr	variable, indicating subjects
addmeans	logical indicating whether a vector of person means should be added to the data (works only if person centering is requested for that variable).
varnames	vector with the names of the variables which are centered.
center	vector of same length as varnames that indicates for each variable which centering must be, applied, either "person" or "grand_mean" or a number. If "person" or "grand_mean" is specified once (default), all variables are person or grand-mean centered, respectively. If center is NULL no variables are centered and a warning is issued.

Value

data frame with centered variables, and if requested, person means with suffix "_means".

Examples

data("news")
res <- centerESM(data = news, subjnr="subjnr",
       addmeans = TRUE, 
       varnames = c("Fearful", "Relaxed", "Anxious"), 
       center = c("person", "person", "person"))
