BIFIEsurvey (version 1.5-0)

BIFIEsurvey-package: Some Tools for Survey Statistics in Educational Assessment, Developed by BIFIE

Description

Contains tools for survey statistics (especially in educational assessment) for datasets with replication designs (jackknife, bootstrap, replicate weights). Descriptive statistics, linear and logistic regression, path models for manifest variables with measurement error correction and two-level hierarchical regressions for weighted samples are included. Statistical inference can be conducted for multiply imputed datasets and nested multiply imputed datasets. This package is developed by BIFIE (Federal Institute for Educational Research, Innovation and Development of the Austrian School System; Salzburg, Austria).

Details

ll{ Package: BIFIEsurvey Type: Package Version: 1.5 Date: 2015 License: GPL (>=2) URL: http://www.bifie.at } This package include basic descriptive functions for large scale assessment data to complement the more comprehensive survey package. The functions in this package were written in Rcpp. The features of BIFIEsurvey include for designs with replicate weights (which includes Jackknife and Bootstrap as general approaches):

• Descriptive statistics: means and standard deviations (BIFIE.univar), frequencies (BIFIE.freq), crosstabs (BIFIE.crosstab)
• Linear regression (BIFIE.linreg)
• Logistic regression (BIFIE.logistreg)
• Path models with measurement error correction for manifest variables (BIFIE.pathmodel)
• Two-level regression for hierarchical data (BIFIE.twolevelreg; random slope model)
• Statistical inference for derived parameters (BIFIE.derivedParameters)
• Wald tests (BIFIE.waldtest) of model parameters based on replicated statistics
• User-definedRfunctions (BIFIE.by)
