The phi coefficient is the Pearson's product moment correlation coefficient
between two binary items. This function is applicable only to binary response data.
The coefficient ranges from -1 to 1, where 1 indicates perfect positive correlation,
-1 indicates perfect negative correlation, and 0 indicates no correlation.
Usage
PhiCoefficient(U, na = NULL, Z = NULL, w = NULL)
# S3 method for default
PhiCoefficient(U, na = NULL, Z = NULL, w = NULL)
# S3 method for binary
PhiCoefficient(U, na = NULL, Z = NULL, w = NULL)
Value
A matrix of phi coefficients with exametrika class.
Each element (i,j) represents the phi coefficient between items i and j.
The matrix is symmetric with ones on the diagonal.
Arguments
U
Either an object of class "exametrika" or raw data. When raw data is given,
it is converted to the exametrika class with the dataFormat function.
na
Values to be treated as missing values.
Z
Missing indicator matrix of type matrix or data.frame. Values of 1 indicate
observed responses, while 0 indicates missing data.
w
Item weight vector specifying the relative importance of each item.
