Description

S3 Method for summary of objects of class pmatrix.class. Summarize checks of nonintersection using method pmatrix.

Usage

summary(object, ...)

Arguments

object
list produced by check.pmatrix
...
Optional parameters will be ignored

Value

  • Matrix with ncol(X) rows and 10 columns, showing for each item a summary of the violations of nonintersection using method pmatrix: itemH = Item-scalability coefficient; #ac} = number of active pairs that were investigated; #vi} = number of violations in which the item is involved; #vi/#ac} = propotion of active pairs that is involved in a violation; maxvi = maximum violation; sum = sum of all violations; zmax = maximum z-value; zsig = number of significant z-values; crit = Crit value (Molenaar and Sijtsma, 2000, pp. 49, 74).
    For obtaining the P++ and P-- matrix, see examples.
