Nested Standardization

Standardize within a subgroup and then within a group.

multiscale(numeric.var, grouping.var, original_order = TRUE, digits = 2)

Arguments

• numeric.var: A numeric variable.
• grouping.var: The grouping variables. Default NULL generates one word list for all text. Also takes a single grouping variable or a list of 1 or more grouping variables.
• original_order: logical. IF TRUE orders by the original order. If FALSE orders by group.
• digits: Integer; number of decimal places to round.

• DESCRIPTIVES_BY_GROUP: A data frame of descriptives by group.

Examples

## Not run:

dat <- with(mraja1spl, word_stats(dialogue, list(person, sex, fam.aff)))
htruncdf(colsplit2df(dat$ts), ,4)
out1 <- with(colsplit2df(dat$ts), multiscale(word.count, person))
ltruncdf(out1, 10)
out2 <- with(colsplit2df(dat$ts), multiscale(word.count, 
    list(fam.aff, sex)))
ltruncdf(out2, 10)
out3 <- with(colsplit2df(dat$ts), multiscale(word.count, 
    list(fam.aff, sex), original_order = FALSE))
ltruncdf(out3, 10)
