Converting Latent Variables into Likert Scale Responses

v1.2.1 · Jun 24, 2024 · MIT + file LICENSE
CRAN GitHub Mirror

Description

Effectively simulates the discretization process inherent to Likert scales while minimizing distortion. It converts continuous latent variables into ordinal categories to generate Likert scale item responses. Particularly useful for accurately modeling and analyzing survey data that use Likert scales, especially when applying statistical techniques that require metric data.
