Description

mag categorizes the DIF magnitudes

Usage

1
mag(m, meth)

Arguments

m

value used for calculating DIF magnitudes

meth

type of method to calculate. Options include "zt" for logistic regression magnitude values suggested by Zumbo and Thomas (1997), and "ds" for the MH magnitude value categories from using ETS's delta scale (Holland & Thayer, 1985).

This function is used to categorize DIF magnitudes in the functions LRd and MHd

Value

a character value representing the DIF magnitude categorization
