In mcbeem/ZPDGrowthTrajectories: Simulate achievement growth trajectories using a theoretical model of academic achievement based on the zone of proximal development

Description

Function for calculating the max value that should be included in the lookup table based on the max school curriculum and the point at which the home growth rate falls below some negligible threshold called by ZPDGrowthTrajectories() function

Usage

## S3 method for class 'achievement'
max(
  ZPD.width,
  ZPD.offset,
  curriculum.start.points,
  curriculum.widths,
  slope2,
  rate,
  threshold,
  integration.points
)

Arguments

ZPD.width	the radius of the student's ZPD
ZPD.offset	offset of the student's ZPD from the current level of achievement
curriculum.start.points	matrix of curriculum starting locations
curriculum.widths	matrix of curriculum widths
slope2	matrix of slopes of the upper leg of the school curriculum
rate	exponential decay rate for the home curriculum function
threshold	the threshold growth rate for finding the effective maximum possible achievement
integration.points	integration points for numerical integration

Examples

## Not run: 
curriculum.start.points <- matrix(c(.1, .2, .3), ncol=1)
curriculum.widths <- matrix(rep(.11, 3), ncol=1)
slope2 <- matrix(rep(10, 3), ncol=1)

max.achievement(ZPD.width=.05, ZPD.offset=.02,
                curriculum.start.points=curriculum.start.points,
                curriculum.widths=curriculum.widths,
                slope2=slope2, rate=6, threshold=.00001,
                integration.points=2000)

## End(Not run)
