detect_scales {codebook}

Detect item scales

Description

Did you create aggregates of items like this scale <- scale_1 + scale_2R + scale_3R? If you run this function on a dataset, it will detect these relationships and set the appropriate attributes. Once they are set, the codebook package can perform reliability computations for you.

the data frame

quiet

defaults to false. Suppresses messages about found items.

Examples

bfi <- data.frame(matrix(data = rnorm(500), ncol = 5))
names(bfi) <- c("bfi_e1", "bfi_e2R", "bfi_e3", "bfi_n1", "bfi_n2")
bfi$bfi_e <- rowMeans(bfi[, c("bfi_e1", "bfi_e2R", "bfi_e3")])
bfi <- detect_scales(bfi)
bfi$bfi_e
bfi <- data.frame(matrix(data = rnorm(500), ncol = 5))
names(bfi) <- c("bfi_e1", "bfi_e2R", "bfi_e3", "bfi_n1", "bfi_n2")
bfi$bfi_e <- rowMeans(bfi[, c("bfi_e1", "bfi_e2R", "bfi_e3")])
bfi <- detect_scales(bfi)
bfi$bfi_e
