Factor scores.

Calculates the factor scores as loadings-weighted averages of raw Q-Sorts (regression scores).

Construct S3 class for pensieve.

Check S3 class.

score(loas, csorts)

QScores(scores, validate = TRUE)

# S3 method for QScores
check(x)

Arguments

loas	A numerical matrix with loadings.
csorts	[matrix()] An numeric matrix with people as rows, item handles as columns and item positions in cells.
scores	A numerical matrix with factor scores.
validate	a logical flag, indicating whether the object will be validated on construction. Defaults to TRUE.
x	class object created by respective constructor function.

Methods (by generic)

• check: validation

Examples

csorts <- civicon_2014$qData$sorts[,,"before"]  # preparatory step
cors <- correlate(csorts = csorts)  # preparatory step
loas <- extract(cors = cors, nfactors = 3, fa_type = "pca")  # preparatory step
scores <- score(loas = loas, csorts = csorts)
# this just assigns the class, without validation (not recommended)
scores <- QScores(scores = scores, validate = FALSE)
# this validates the class
check(x = scores)
#> [1] TRUE
