summary.pmatrix.class: Summarize pmatrix.class objects

Description

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

Usage

# S3 method for pmatrix.class
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 & Sijtsma, 2000, pp. 49, 74).

Details

For obtaining the P++ and P-- matrix, see examples.
