gen2list: Data formats

In monotonicity/stacmr: Conjoint Monotonic Regression approach to State-Trace Analysis

Description

STACMR accepts two kinds of data structure, list format and general format. gen2list transforms from the general format into the list format.

Usage

gen2list(data = NULL, varnames)

Arguments

data	data.frame or matrix in general format (see below).
varnames	optional list of the names of each within-participant condition.

Details

List Format

In this format, the data are contained in a b x n list where b is the number of between-participant conditions (groups) and n is the number of dependent variables. Each component of the list is itself an N x w matrix of observations where N is the number of subjects (which may vary across groups and dependent variables) and w is the number of within-participant conditions (fixed across groups and dependent variables). The dependent variable may be either within-participant or between-participant. This does not matter because the correlation between dependent variables is assumed to be zero (although this might change in future implementations).

General format

This is a fixed column format organised as a matrix in which each row corresponds to an observation and each column is defined as follows:

1. Participant number (for identification only, not used directly)

2. Between-participant condition or group (if none, then set this value to 1)

3. Dependent variable (numbered 1, 2, and so on)

4. column 4 to end: Values for each within-participant condition

Value

gen2list returns a ngroup x nvar list in which each element is an nsub x ncond matrix of values
