prettyPrint Format raw and norm tables The function takes a raw or norm table, condenses intervals at the bottom and top and round the numbers to meaningful interval.
print.cnorm S3 method for printing model selection information
printSubset Print Model Selection Information
rangeCheck Check for horizontal and vertical extrapolation
rankByGroup Determine the norm scores of the participants in each subsample
rankBySlidingWindow Determine the norm scores of the participants by sliding window (experimental)
rawTable Create a table with norm scores assigned to raw scores for a specific age based on the regression model
regressionFunction Regression function
simMean Simulate mean per age
simSD Simulate sd per age
simulateRasch Simulate raw test scores based on Rasch model
standardizeRakingWeights Function for standardizing raking weights Raking weights get divided by the smallest weight. Thereby, all weights become larger or equal to 1 without changing the ratio of the weights to each other.
