compute_score {autoRasch} R Documentation

## Compute the In-plus-out-of-questionnaire log likelihood (with DIF) (IPOQ-LL(-DIF))

### Description

compute_score computes the the IPOQ-LL/IPOQ-LL-DIF score of an instrument (included set) of the given initial survey. While compute_scores computes the IPOQ-LL/IPOQ-LL-DIF score of many (more than one) instruments (included sets) of the given initial survey simultanously.

### Usage

compute_score(
X,
incl_set,
type = c("ipoqll", "ipoqlldif"),
groups_map = c(),
init_par_iq = c(),
init_par_oq = c(),
setting_par_iq = c(),
setting_par_oq = c(),
method = c("fast", "novel")
)

compute_scores(
X,
incl_sets,
type = c("ipoqll", "ipoqlldif"),
step_direct = c("fixed", "forward", "backward"),
groups_map = c(),
init_par_iq = c(),
init_par_oq = c(),
setting_par_iq = c(),
setting_par_oq = c(),
cores = NULL,
method = c("fast", "novel"),
timeLimit = 3600
)

summary(object, ...)


### Arguments

 X A matrix or data.frame of the observed responses (ordinal or binary response). incl_set A vector of the items (columns) number in the data.frame X that are included in the included set. type The type of the score. ipoqll if we ignore the presence of the DIF and ipoqlldif if we want to consider the DIF effect. groups_map Matrix to map the respondents to the DIF groups. init_par_iq Initial values of the parameters in the included set before the estimation begin. init_par_oq Initial values of the parameters in the excluded set before the estimation begin. setting_par_iq The coordinate descent optimisation setting of the included set. See autoRasch::autoRaschOptions() cd_control parameter. setting_par_oq The coordinate descent optimisation setting of the excluded set. See autoRasch::autoRaschOptions() cd_control parameter. method The implementation option of log likelihood function. fast using a c++ implementation and novel using an R implementation. incl_sets A matrix as a results of a rbind of incl_set. step_direct How will you compute the criterion score. fixed for the given itemset, forward computes all the scores of the possible combination of items if an item is added to the given set, backward computes all the scores of the possible combination of items if an item is removed to the given set. cores Number of cores that is used in the paralellization. timeLimit To limit the execution time of scores' computation. object The object from the class score. The result of the score computation. ... further argument passed or from other method.

### Value

compute_score will return a vector which contains in-questionnaire log likelihood (IQ-LL(-DIF)), out-of-questionnaire log likelihood(OQ-LL(-DIF)), IPOQ-LL(-DIF), included set's items' number in the given initial survey, the estimated theta parameters, the estimated items' parameters in the included set, and the estimated items' parameters in the excluded set, sequentially.

compute_scores will return a matrix as a result of the rbind operation of the compute_score's result.

### Examples

ipoqll_score <- compute_score(shortDIF,incl_set = c(1:3),type = "ipoqll")
