Arguments

db

A handle to the dexter project database, e.g. the output of start_new_project or open_project

Details

When entering response data in the form of a rectangular person x item table, it is easy to provide person properties but practically impossible to provide item properties. This function provides a possibility to do so.

Note that is is not possible to add new items with this function, use touch_rules if you want to add new items to your project.

See Also

fit_domains, profile_plot for possible uses of item_properties

# NOT RUN {
db = start_new_project(verbAggrRules, "verbAggression.db")
head(verbAggrProperties)
add_item_properties(db, verbAggrProperties)
get_items(db)
