input_manual_simple: Input Manual Simple

Description

Generates manual data input for a simple model with one test.

Usage

input_manual_simple(
  test_name,
  facet_names,
  items_per_facet,
  item_names,
  test_loadings,
  facet_loadings,
  correlation_matrix
)

Value

list containing "raw" data, that needs to be pre-processed using

input_manual_process.

Arguments

test_name: character; the name of the test.
facet_names: character; the names of the facets in correct order.
items_per_facet: integer; number of items per facet in correct order (determined by facet_names), if all facets have the same number of items a single number can be used, e.g. 5 instead of c(5, 5, 5, 5).
item_names: character or integer; the names of the items in correct order (determined by facet_names).
test_loadings: integer; vector of the factor loadings from the single factor model of the test or a group factor model of multiple tests in correct order (determined by item_names).
facet_loadings: integer; vector of the factor loadings on the facet factors from the group factor model in correct order (determined by item_names).
correlation_matrix: matrix containing the latent correlations between facets, pay attention to the order of rows and columns, which is determined by facet_names.

Details

Pay attention to the order of facets and items, it has to be coherent throughout the whole data. facet_names and items_per_facet determine which facet is listed first and how many items there are listed for that facet. item_names, test_loadings and facet_loadings have to match that order. The correlation matrix uses the order in facet_names for rows and columns.
