naep.model: Executes statistical analysis using the replicate weights and...

In jbryer/naep: National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP)

Description

This function wraps functions from the survey package for the analysis of complex survey designs. Specifically, this function will perform statistical analyses utilizing the provided replicate weights and multiple plausible values (if specified in the model). The function will return a list of class naep.model with the following elements:

• combined the combined results containing estimates and standard errors.

• formula the model formula.

• models a list of the individual models before being combined. This has a length of five and contains the results of each svyFUN call for each of the five plausible values. Note that this is only present for models containing plausible values.

• svyFUN the name of the survey function called.

• variable the name of the plausible value.

Usage

  naep.model(formula, var = NULL, naepData,
    svyFUN = svyglm, ...)

Arguments

formula	model formula
var	the variable prefix for an outcome with multiple plausible values (e.g. MRPCM for overall composite math value for math assessment)
naepData	a NAEP data object.
svyFUN	the function to use from the survey package.
...	other parameters passed to the survey function

Value

an object of class naep.model with print and summary methods defined.
