RSmpl {RaschSampler}R Documentation

Sample Objects

Description

The objects of class RSmpl and RSmplext contain the original input matrix, the generated (encoded) random matrices, and some information about the sampling process.

Value

A list of class RSmpl or RSmplext with components

n

number of rows of the input matrix

k

number of columns of the input matrix

inpmat

the input matrix

tfixed

TRUE, if diagonals of inpmat are fixed

burn_in

length of the burn in process

n_eff

number of generated matrices (effective matrices)

step

controls the number number of void matrices generated in the the burn in process and when effective matrices are generated (see note in rsctrl).

seed

starting value for the random number generator

n_tot

number of matrices in outvec.

outvec

vector of encoded random matrices

ier

error code (see below)

Generation

These classes of objects are returned from rsampler and rsextrobj.

Methods

Both classes have methods for the generic summary function.

Note

By default, all generated matrices plus the original matrix (in position 1) are contained in outvec, thus n_tot = n_eff + 1. If the original matrix is not in outvec then n_tot = n_eff.

If ier is 0, no error was detected. Otherwise use the error function rserror(ier) to obtain some informations.

For saving and loading objects of class RSmpl or RSmplext see the example in rsextrobj.
