Tenseness data from the Freiburg Complaint Checklist (tenseness)

Description

Data from the Freiburg Complaint Checklist. The data contain all 8 items corresponding to the scale Tenseness for 1847 participants of the standardization sample of the Freiburg Complaint Checklist. Additionally, several person characteristics are available.

Format

A data frame containing data from the Freiburg Complaint Checklist with 1847 observations. All items refer to the scale Tenseness and are measured on a 5-point Likert scale where low numbers correspond to low frequencies or low intensitites of the respective complaint and vice versa.

Examples

data(tenseness)

## create a small subset of the data to speed up calculations
set.seed(1860)
tenseness <- tenseness[sample(1:nrow(tenseness), 300),]

## scale all metric variables to get comparable parameter estimates
tenseness$Age <- scale(tenseness$Age)
tenseness$Income <- scale(tenseness$Income)

## two formulas, one without and one with explanatory variables (gender and age)
f.tense0 <- as.formula(paste("cbind(",paste(names(tenseness)[1:4],collapse=","),") ~ 1"))
f.tense1 <- as.formula(paste("cbind(",paste(names(tenseness)[1:4],collapse=","),") ~ Gender + Age"))

## Adjacent Categories Models
####

## Multivariate adjacent categories model, without response style, without explanatory variables
m.tense0 <- multordRS(f.tense0, data = tenseness, control = ctrl.multordRS(RS = FALSE))
m.tense0


## Multivariate adjacent categories model, with response style as a random effect, 
## without explanatory variables
m.tense1 <- multordRS(f.tense0, data = tenseness)
m.tense1

## Multivariate adjacent categories model, with response style as a random effect, 
## without explanatory variables for response style BUT for location
m.tense2 <- multordRS(f.tense1, data = tenseness, control = ctrl.multordRS(XforRS = FALSE))
m.tense2

## Multivariate adjacent categories model, with response style as a random effect, with 
## explanatory variables for location AND response style
m.tense3 <- multordRS(f.tense1, data = tenseness)
m.tense3

plot(m.tense3)

## Cumulative Models

## Multivariate cumulative model, without response style, without explanatory variables
m.tense0.cumul <- multordRS(f.tense0, data = tenseness, control = 
  ctrl.multordRS(RS = FALSE), model = "cumulative")

m.tense0.cumul

## Multivariate cumulative model, with response style as a random effect,
