estimate_artifactsR Documentation

Estimation of applicant and incumbent reliabilities and of true- and observed-score u ratios

Description

Functions to estimate the values of artifacts from other artifacts. These functions allow for reliability estimates to be corrected/attenuated for range restriction and allow u ratios to be converted between observed-score and true-score metrics. Some functions also allow for the extrapolation of an artifact from other available information.

Available functions include:

  • estimate_rxxa
    Estimate the applicant reliability of variable X from X's incumbent reliability value and X's observed-score or true-score u ratio.

  • estimate_rxxa_u
    Estimate the applicant reliability of variable X from X's observed-score and true-score u ratios.

  • estimate_rxxi
    Estimate the incumbent reliability of variable X from X's applicant reliability value and X's observed-score or true-score u ratio.

  • estimate_rxxi_u
    Estimate the incumbent reliability of variable X from X's observed-score and true-score u ratios.

  • estimate_ux
    Estimate the true-score u ratio for variable X from X's reliability coefficient and X's observed-score u ratio.

  • estimate_uy
    Estimate the observed-score u ratio for variable X from X's reliability coefficient and X's true-score u ratio.

  • estimate_ryya
    Estimate the applicant reliability of variable Y from Y's incumbent reliability value, Y's correlation with X, and X's u ratio.

  • estimate_ryyi
    Estimate the incumbent reliability of variable Y from Y's applicant reliability value, Y's correlation with X, and X's u ratio.

  • estimate_uy
    Estimate the observed-score u ratio for variable Y from Y's applicant and incumbent reliability coefficients.

  • estimate_up
    Estimate the true-score u ratio for variable Y from Y's applicant and incumbent reliability coefficients.

estimate_rxxa_u(ux, ut)

estimate_rxxi_u(ux, ut)

Arguments

rxxi

Vector of incumbent reliability estimates for X.

ux

Vector of observed-score u ratios for X (if used in the context of estimating a reliability value, a true-score u ratio may be supplied by setting ux_observed to FALSE).

ux_observed

Logical vector determining whether each element of ux is an observed-score u ratio (TRUE) or a true-score u ratio (FALSE).

indirect_rr

Logical vector determining whether each reliability value is associated with indirect range restriction (TRUE) or direct range restriction (FALSE).

rxxi_type, rxxa_type, ryy_type

String vector identifying the types of reliability estimates supplied (e.g., "alpha", "retest", "interrater_r", "splithalf"). See the documentation for ma_r for a full list of acceptable reliability types.

rxxa

Vector of applicant reliability estimates for X.

rxx

Vector of reliability estimates for X (used in the context of estimating ux and ut - specify that reliability is an incumbent value by setting rxx_restricted to FALSE).

rxx_restricted

Logical vector determining whether each element of rxx is an incumbent reliability (TRUE) or an applicant reliability (FALSE).

ut

Vector of true-score u ratios for X.

ryyi

Vector of incumbent reliability estimates for Y.

rxyi

Vector of observed-score incumbent correlations between X and Y.

ryya

Vector of applicant reliability estimates for Y.

#### Formulas to estimate rxxa ####

Formulas for indirect range restriction:

\rho_{XX_{a}}=1-u_{X}^{2}\left(1-\rho_{XX_{i}}\right)

\rho_{XX_{a}}=\frac{\rho_{XX_{i}}}{\rho_{XX_{i}}+u_{T}^{2}-\rho_{XX_{i}}u_{T}^{2}}

Formula for direct range restriction:

\rho_{XX_{a}}=\frac{\rho_{XX_{i}}}{u_{X}^{2}\left[1+\rho_{XX_{i}}\left(\frac{1}{u_{X}^{2}}-1\right)\right]}

Formula for direct range restriction:

\rho_{XX_{i}}=\frac{\rho_{XX_{i}}u_{X}^{2}}{1+\rho_{XX_{i}}\left(u_{X}^{2}-1\right)}

#### Formulas to estimate ut ####
