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 growth resulting from school at every possible achievement level, given a level of achievement, ZPD parameters, and school curriculum parameters. This is used to populate the lookup table for school growth. Called by build.school.lookup()

Usage

school.growth.rate(
  achievement,
  ZPD.offset,
  ZPD.width,
  slope1,
  slope2,
  start,
  end,
  integration.points
)

Arguments

achievement	a vector of achievement levels
ZPD.offset	offset of the student's ZPD from the current level of achievement
ZPD.width	the radius of the student's ZPD
slope1	the slope of the lower leg of the school curriculum
slope2	the slope of the upper leg of the school curriculum
start	the curriculum starting location
end	the curriculum ending location
integration.points	integration points for numerical integration

Examples

## Not run: 
school.growth.rate(achievement=seq(0,1, .1), integration.points=200, ZPD.offset=.05,
  ZPD.width=.04, slope1=10, slope2=20, start=.1, end=.2)
  
## End(Not run)
