n_W = NULL, c_mean = NULL, sigma = NULL, cor_matrix = NULL, separate_questionnaires = TRUE,
collapse = "none", sum_pop = sapply(N, sum), calc_weights = TRUE, sampling_method = "mixed",
rho = NULL, theta = FALSE, verbose = TRUE, print_pop_structure = verbose)
As its single mandatory argument, cluster_gen requires a numeric list
or vector containing the hierarchical structure of the data. As a
general rule, as far as this first argument (n
) as well as
the second argument (N
, representing the population
structure) are concerned, vectors can be used to represent symmetric
structures and lists can be used for asymmetric structures. What follows
are some examples.
The function cluster_gen
generates clustered samples
which resembles the composition of international large-scale assessments
participants. The required argument is n
and the other
optional arguments include
n
: a numeric vector with the number of sampled
observations (clusters or subjects) on each level.N
: a list of numeric vector(s) with the population size
of each sampled cluster element on each level.cluster_labels
: a character vector with the names of
each cluster level.resp_labels
: a character vector with the names of the
questionnaire respondents on each level.cat_prop
: a list of vectors where each vector contains
the cumulative proportions for each category of a given item. If theta =
TRUE, the first element of cat_prop must be a scalar 1, which
corresponds to the theta.n_X
: the number of continuous (X
)
variables per cluster level.n_W
: the number of ordinal (W
) variables
per cluster level.cor_matrix
: a correlation matrix between all variables
(except weights).c_mean
: the vector of means for the continuous
variables or list of vectors for the continuous variables for each
level.sigma
: the vector of of standard deviations for the
continuous variables or list of vectors for the continuous variables for
each level.separate_questionnaires
: if the logical argument
separate_questionnaires
‘TRUE’, each level will have its
own questionnaire. Otherwise, it will be labeled ‘q1’.theta
: if the logical argument theta
is
TRUE
then the latent trait will be generated as the first
continuous variable and labeled ‘theta’.collapse
: if the logical argument collapse
is ‘TRUE’, then function output contains only one data frame with all
answers.sum_pop
: is the specification of the total population
at each level (sampled or not)calc_weights
: if the logical argument
calc_weights
is ‘TRUE’, then sampling weights are
calculated.sampling_method
: can be “SRS” for Simple Random
Sampling or “PPS” for Probabilities Proportional to Size.rho
: specifies the estimated intraclass
correlation.verbose
: if the logical argument verbose
is ‘TRUE’, then messages are printed in the output.print_pop_structure
: if
print_pop_structure
is ‘TRUE’, then the population
hierarchical structure is printed out (as long as it differs from the
sample structure)....
: additional parameters to be passed to
questionnaire_gen()
.We can specify a simple structure of 3 schools with 5 students in
each school. That is, n = 3
and N = 5
.

The named vector below represents a sampling structure of 1 country,
2 schools, 5 students per school. In the example, the number of
continuous variables have been specified as n_X
= 10. Only
5 means have been expressed to correspond to the 10 continuous
variables. That is, c_mean
= c(0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7).
The function will still run by recycling the means over the other, five,
variables. In this case, a warning message that reads

will be reported.

The named vector below represents a sampling structure of 3 schools,
2 classes, and 5 students per class. Again, the naming of the vector is
optional. However, n_X
and sigma
can be
expressed as lists that coincide with the different levels (i.e.,
schools and classes). For example, n_X
= c(1, 2) and
sigma
= list(.1, c(1, 2) can be represented to represent
the school and classroom levels. Note that, sigma
=
list(.1, c(1, 2) means that at cluster 1 (class), the standard
deviations are .1, where as the standard deviations for level 2 (class)
are 1 and 2.
set.seed(4388)
n <- c(school = 3, class = 2, student = 5)
cg <- cluster_gen(n, n_X = c(1, 2), sigma = list(0.1, c(1, 2)))

The named vector below represents a sampling structure of 3 schools,
2 classes, and 5 students per class. Again, the naming of the vector is
optional. However, c_mean
can also be expressed as a list
that coincide with the different levels (i.e., schools and classes). For
example, c_mean
= list(.1, c(0.55, 0.32) can be represented
to represent the school and classroom levels. Note that,
c_mean
= list(.1, c(0.55, 0.32)) means that at cluster 1
(class), the means for the continuous variables are .1, where as the
means for level 2 (class) are 0.55 and 0.32.
