Specify any number of within- and between-subject factors with any number of levels.
Usage
check_design(
  within = list(),
  between = list(),
  n = 100,
  mu = 0,
  sd = 1,
  r = 0,
  dv = list(y = "value"),
  id = list(id = "id"),
  vardesc = list(),
  plot = faux_options("plot"),
  design = NULL,
  fix_names = FALSE,
  sep = faux_options("sep")
)Arguments
- within
 a list of the within-subject factors
- between
 a list of the between-subject factors
- n
 the number of samples required
- mu
 a vector giving the means of the variables
- sd
 the standard deviations of the variables
- r
 the correlations among the variables (can be a single number, full correlation matrix as a matric or vector, or a vector of the upper right triangle of the correlation matrix
- dv
 the name of the DV column list(y = "value")
- id
 the name of the ID column list(id = "id")
- vardesc
 a list of variable descriptions having the names of the within- and between-subject factors
- plot
 whether to show a plot of the design
- design
 a design list including within, between, n, mu, sd, r, dv, id
- fix_names
 deprecated
- sep
 separator for factor levels
Details
Specify n for each between-subject cell; mu and sd for each cell, and r for the within-subject cells for each between-subject cell.
This function returns a validated design list for use in sim_data to simulate a data table with this design, or to archive your design.
Examples
within <- list(time = c("day", "night"))
between <- list(pet = c("dog", "cat"))
mu <- list(dog = 10, cat = 5)
vardesc <- list(time = "Time of Day", pet = "Type of Pet")
check_design(within, between, mu = mu, vardesc = vardesc)
between <- list(language = c("dutch", "thai"),
                pet = c("dog", "cat"))
mu <- list(dutch_dog = 12, dutch_cat = 7, thai_dog = 8, thai_cat = 3)
check_design(within, between, mu = mu)
