check_itemscale {performance}R Documentation

Describe Properties of Item Scales

Description

Compute various measures of internal consistencies applied to (sub)scales, which items were extracted using parameters::principal_components().

Usage

check_itemscale(x)

Arguments

x

An object of class parameters_pca, as returned by parameters::principal_components().

Details

check_itemscale() calculates various measures of internal consistencies, such as Cronbach's alpha, item difficulty or discrimination etc. on subscales which were built from several items. Subscales are retrieved from the results of parameters::principal_components(), i.e. based on how many components were extracted from the PCA, check_itemscale() retrieves those variables that belong to a component and calculates the above mentioned measures.

Value

A list of data frames, with related measures of internal consistencies of each subscale.

X <- matrix(rnorm(1600), 100, 16)
Z <- X %*% C

  pca <- principal_components(as.data.frame(Z), rotation = "varimax", n = 3)
  pca
  check_itemscale(pca)
