convert_r {faux} | R Documentation |
Convert r for NORTA
Description
Given a target r-value, returns the correlation you need to induce in a bivariate normal distribution to have the target correlation after converting distributions.
Usage
convert_r(
target_r = 0,
dist1 = "norm",
dist2 = "norm",
params1 = list(),
params2 = list(),
tol = 0.01
)
Arguments
target_r |
The target correlation |
dist1 |
The target distribution function for variable 1 (e.g., norm, binom, gamma, truncnorm) |
dist2 |
The target distribution function for variable 2 |
params1 |
Arguments to pass to the functions for distribution 1 |
params2 |
Arguments to pass to the functions for distribution 2 |
tol |
Tolerance for optimise function |
Details
See Distributions for distributions and their various arguments to specify in params1 and params2.
Value
r-value to induce in the bivariate normal variables
Examples
convert_r(target_r = 0.5,
dist1 = "norm",
dist2 = "binom",
params1 = list(mean = 100, sd = 10),
params2 = list(size = 1, prob = 0.5))
convert_r(target_r = 0.5,
dist1 = "norm",
dist2 = "likert",
params1 = list(mean = 100, sd = 10),
params2 = list(prob = c(5, 10, 20, 30, 20)))
