correct_d: Correct d values for measurement error and/or range restriction

Description

This function is a wrapper for the correct_r() function to correct d values for statistical and psychometric artifacts.

Usage

correct_d(
  correction = c("meas", "uvdrr_g", "uvdrr_y", "uvirr_g", "uvirr_y", "bvdrr", "bvirr"),
  d,
  ryy = 1,
  uy = 1,
  rGg = 1,
  pi = NULL,
  pa = NULL,
  uy_observed = TRUE,
  ryy_restricted = TRUE,
  ryy_type = "alpha",
  k_items_y = NA,
  sign_rgz = 1,
  sign_ryz = 1,
  n1 = NULL,
  n2 = NA,
  conf_level = 0.95,
  correct_bias = FALSE
)

Value

Data frame(s) of observed d values (dgyi), operational range-restricted d values corrected for measurement error in Y only (dgpi), operational range-restricted d values corrected for measurement error in the grouping only (dGyi), and range-restricted true-score d values (dGpi), range-corrected observed-score d values (dgya), operational range-corrected d values corrected for measurement error in Y only (dgpa), operational range-corrected d values corrected for measurement error in the grouping only (dGya), and range-corrected true-score d values (dGpa).

Arguments

correction

Type of correction to be applied. Options are "meas", "uvdrr_g", "uvdrr_y", "uvirr_g", "uvirr_y", "bvdrr", "bvirr"

d

Vector of d values.

ryy

Vector of reliability coefficients for Y (the continuous variable).

uy

Vector of u ratios for Y (the continuous variable).

rGg

Vector of reliabilities for the group variable (i.e., the correlations between observed group membership and latent group membership).

pi

Proportion of cases in one of the groups in the observed data (not necessary if n1 and n2 reflect this proportionality).

pa

Proportion of cases in one of the groups in the population.

uy_observed

Logical vector in which each entry specifies whether the corresponding uy value is an observed-score u ratio (TRUE) or a true-score u ratio. All entries are TRUE by default.

ryy_restricted

Logical vector in which each entry specifies whether the corresponding rxx value is an incumbent reliability (TRUE) or an applicant reliability. All entries are TRUE by default.

ryy_type

String vector identifying the types of reliability estimates supplied (e.g., "alpha", "retest", "interrater_r", "splithalf"). See the documentation for ma_r() for a full list of acceptable reliability types.

k_items_y

Numeric vector identifying the number of items in each scale.

sign_rgz

Vector of signs of the relationships between grouping variables and the selection mechanism.

sign_ryz

Vector of signs of the relationships between Y variables and the selection mechanism.

n1

Optional vector of sample sizes associated with group 1 (or the total sample size, if n2 is NULL).

n2

Optional vector of sample sizes associated with group 2.

conf_level

Confidence level to define the width of the confidence interval (default = .95).

correct_bias

Logical argument that determines whether to correct error-variance estimates for small-sample bias in correlations (TRUE) or not (FALSE). For sporadic corrections (e.g., in mixed artifact-distribution meta-analyses), this should be set to FALSE (the default).
