intsvy.config: Config files for intsvy studies
In dickli/intsvy2: International Assessment Data Manager 2

Description Usage Arguments Value Examples

intsvy.config set non standard parameters for intsvy functions. It allso allo to apply intsvy functions to new studies that are similar to PIRLS, TIMSS, PISA, PIAAC, ICILS.

           input.cnt_part, base.config = pirls_conf)

`parameters.weights`	Weighting scheme. It may be "JK" for studies like PIRLS, ICLS, TIMSS, or "BRR" for studies like PISA or "mixed_piaac" for studies with mixed design like PIAAC.
`parameters.cutoffs2, parameters.cutoffs`	Cut offs for plausible values, either for benchmar or for logistic regression.
`parameters.percentiles, parameters.PVreps`	Other parameters for weighting schemes, like number of PVs.
`parameters.varpv1`	Logical value, TRUE if only 1 plausible value for within variance estimation.
`variables.pvlabelpref, variables.pvlabelsuff, variables.weight, variables.jackknifeZone, variables.jackknifeRep`	Names of variables that are used for jack-knife replicates.
`input.type, input.prefixes, input.student, input.student_colnames1, input.student_colnames2, input.student_pattern, input.homeinput, input.home_colnames, input.school, input.school_colnames, input.teacher, input.teacher_colnames, input.student_ids, input.school_ids, input.type_part, input.cnt_part`	Parameters to correctly read data from files downloaded from iea.nl website.
`base.config`	Base config structure, either pirls_conf, pisa_conf, piaac_conf, timss4_conf, timss8_conf, icils_conf.

intsvy.config returns new object with parameters. It is a list with three components - input, variables and parameters.
