Returns the score (calculated) items from secuTrialdata objects

secuTrial allows to set up calculated fields (i.e. scores) that depend on other items. It is not suggested to use the scores calculated by secuTrial to perform reliable analyses. To this end, calling return_scores will return all items in the secuTrial export which are scores and should be manually recalculated before data analysis.

return_scores(x)

Arguments

x

a secuTrialdata object

Value

a data.frame (columns: name, itemtype, label) that pinpoints which items are scores/calculated.

                         package = "secuTrialR")
