statsElements {OpenRepGrid}

Descriptive statistics for constructs and elements of a grid.

Description

Descriptive statistics for constructs and elements of a grid.

Descriptive statistics for constructs and elements of a grid.

Usage

statsElements(x, index = TRUE, trim = 20)

statsConstructs(x, index = T, trim = 20)

Arguments

x

repgrid object.

index

Whether to print the number of the element.

trim

The number of characters an element or a construct is trimmed to (default is 20). If NA no trimming occurs. Trimming simply saves space when displaying correlation of constructs or elements with long names.

Value

A dataframe containing the following measures is returned invisibly (see describe):
item name
item number
number of valid cases
mean standard deviation
trimmed mean (with trim defaulting to .1)
median (standard or interpolated)
mad: median absolute deviation (from the median)
minimum
maximum
skew
kurtosis
standard error

Note

Note that standard deviation and variance are estimations, i.e. including Bessel's correction. For more info type ?describe.
