group_adj: Group Level Adjustment That Accounts for Propensity to Guess

Description

Adjusts observed 1s based on propensity to guess (based on observed 0s) and item level gamma. You can also put in your best estimate of hidden knowledge behind don't know responses.

Usage

group_adj(
  pre = NULL,
  pst = NULL,
  gamma = NULL,
  dk = 0.03,
  na_as = c("dk", "missing"),
  missing_action = c("omit", "error")
)

Value

nested list of pre and post adjusted responses, and adjusted learning estimates

Arguments

pre

pre data frame. Required. Each vector within the data frame should only take values 0, 1, and 'd'.

pst

pst data frame. Required. Each vector within the data frame should only take values 0, 1, and 'd'.

gamma

probability of getting the right answer without knowledge

dk

Numeric. Between 0 and 1. Hidden knowledge behind don't know responses. Default is .03.

na_as

Classification of NA responses: `"dk"` (the default) treats them as observed don't know responses; `"missing"` treats them as structural missingness.

missing_action

How to handle structural missingness: `"omit"` excludes it and `"error"` rejects it.

Examples

pre_test_var <- data.frame(pre = c(1, 0, 0, 1, "d", "d", 0, 1, NA))
pst_test_var <- data.frame(pst = c(1, NA, 1, "d", 1, 0, 1, 1, "d"))
gamma <- c(.25)
group_adj(pre_test_var, pst_test_var, gamma)
