Get Misclassification Matrices for RR Models
Description
Given some randomization probabilities p
, each RR design corresponds
to a misclassification matrix PW. This square matrix has entries defined as:
PW[i,j] = P(respond i | true state j)
.
Usage
getPW(model, p, group = 1, par2 = NULL, Kukrep = 1)
Arguments
model |
one of the available models in the package |
p |
randomization probability |
group |
group index (1 or 2) for two-group designs such as
|
par2 |
the second, estimated parameter in two-group designs (e.g., the
unknown prevalence of the irrelevant question in |
Kukrep |
number of replications in Kuk's RR design (how many cards are drawn) |
Details
The method is used internally for estimation. Moreover, the method might be useful to check the exact definition of the RR designs.
Note that for two-group designs, the matrix depends on a second parameter that is estimated from the data (e.g., the unknown prevalence of the unknown question in the unrelated question technique). Hence, the matrix itself is not constant, but an estimate of a random variable itself.
