This function can be used to change the data in a psychonetrics object.
changedata(x, data, covs, nobs, means, groups, missing = "listwise")
An object of the class psychonetrics (psychonetrics-class)
A psychonetrics
model.
A data frame encoding the data used in the analysis. Can be missing if covs
and nobs
are supplied.
A sample variance--covariance matrix, or a list/array of such matrices for multiple groups. IMPORTANT NOTE: psychonetrics expects the maximum likelihood (ML) covariance matrix, which is NOT obtained from cov
directly. Manually rescale the result of cov
with (nobs - 1)/nobs
to obtain the ML covariance matrix.
The number of observations used in covs
and means
, or a vector of such numbers of observations for multiple groups.
A vector of sample means, or a list/matrix containing such vectors for multiple groups.
An optional string indicating the name of the group variable in data
.
How should missingness be handled in computing the sample covariances and number of observations when data
is used. Can be "listwise"
for listwise deletion, or "pairwise"
for pairwise deletion.
