check_heterogeneity_bias {performance}

Check model predictor for heterogeneity bias

Description

check_heterogeneity_bias() checks if model predictors or variables may cause a heterogeneity bias, i.e. if variables have a within- and/or between-effect (Bell and Jones, 2015).

Usage

check_heterogeneity_bias(x, select = NULL, by = NULL, group = NULL)

Arguments

x

A data frame or a mixed model object.

select

Character vector (or formula) with names of variables to select that should be checked. If x is a mixed model object, this argument will be ignored.

by

Character vector (or formula) with the name of the variable that indicates the group- or cluster-ID. If x is a model object, this argument will be ignored.

group

Deprecated. Use by instead.
