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.

[1] "lsasimcluster" "list" 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.
