twocells {LagSequential} | R Documentation |
twocells
Description
Simultaneously tests the unidirectional dependence of i to j, and the unidirectional dependence of k to L, an additive pattern described by Wampold and Margolin (1982) and Wampold (1989, 1992).
Usage
twocells(data, i, j, k, L, labels = NULL, lag = 1,
adjacent = TRUE, tailed = 1, permtest = FALSE, nperms = 10)
Arguments
data |
A one-column dataframe, or a vector of code sequences, or a square frequency transition matrix. If data is not a frequency transition matrix, then data must be either (a) a series of string (non-numeric) code values, or (b) a series of integer codes with values ranging from "1" to what ever value the user specifies in the "ncodes" argument. There should be no code values with zero frequencies. Missing values are not permitted. |
i |
Code value for i. |
j |
Code value for j. |
k |
Code value for k. |
L |
Code value for L. |
labels |
Optional argument for providing labels to the code values. Accepts a list of string variables. If unspecified, codes will be labeled "Code1", "Code2", etc. |
lag |
The lag number for the analyses. |
adjacent |
Can adjacent values be coded the same? Options are "TRUE" for yes, and "FALSE" for no. |
tailed |
Specify whether significance tests are one-tailed or two-tailed. Options are "1" or "2". |
permtest |
Do you want to run permutation tests of significance? Options are "FALSE" for no, or "TRUE" for yes. Warning: these computations can be time consuming. |
nperms |
The number of permutations per block. |
Details
This function simultaneously tests the unidirectional dependence of i to j and the unidirectional dependence of k to L. The user specifies the code values used for i, j, k, and L in the analyses. For example, Wampold and Margolin (1982) described a situation wherein a spouse responds to negative behaviors with something other than a negative behavior.
Value
Displays the transitional frequency matrix, observed and expected values for the two cell test, kappa, the z value for kappa, and the significance level.
Returns a list with the following elements:
freqs |
The transitional frequency matrix |
expfreqs |
The expected frequencies |
twocellfreq |
The observed number of transitions from i to j and from k to L. |
kappa |
The twocells kappa |
z |
The z value for the kappa |
pk |
The p-value for the kappa |
