Bias between Predicted and Actual Thermal Sensation Vote

Description

calcMeanBias calculates the mean bias and its standard deviation and standard error between predicted thermal sensation votes and actual obtained sensation votes

Usage

calcBias(ref, pred)

calcbias(ref, pred)

calcMeanBias(ref, pred)

MeanBias(ref, pred)

meanBias(ref, pred)

meanbias(ref, pred)

bias(ref, pred)

calcSdBias(ref, pred)

calcSeBias(ref, pred)

Arguments

ref

a numeric item or vector containing categorical actual thermal sensation votes coded from -3 'cold' to +3 'hot'

pred

a numeric item or vector containing categorical predicted thermal sensation votes coded from -3 'cold' to +3 'hot'

Value

calcMeanBias returns a dataframe with the following items:

meanBias

single value presenting the mean bias between actual and predicted thermal sensation votes

sdBias

single value presenting the standard deviation of the mean bias

seBias

single value presenting the standard error of the mean bias
