pridit

An R package that implements the PRIDIT (Principal Component Analysis applied to RIDITs) analysis system as described in Brockett et al. (2002).

Installation

From CRAN (recommended):

install.packages("pridit")

From GitHub (development version):

# Install devtools if you haven't already
install.packages("devtools")

# Install the PRIDIT package
devtools::install_github("rlieberthal/PRIDIT")

Description

This package provides three main functions for calculating and analyzing Ridit scores and PRIDIT scores:

• ridit() - Calculates Ridit scores for a given dataset using the method developed by Bross (1958) and modified by Brockett et al. (2002)
• PRIDITweight() - Applies Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to Ridit scores to calculate PRIDIT weights for each variable
• PRIDITscore() - Calculates final PRIDIT scores using the weights and ridit scores

Quick Start

library(pridit)

# Load your data (first column should be IDs)
data <- data.frame(
  ID = c("A", "B", "C", "D", "E"),
  var1 = c(0.9, 0.85, 0.89, 1.0, 0.89),
  var2 = c(0.99, 0.92, 0.90, 1.0, 0.93),
  var3 = c(1.0, 0.99, 0.98, 1.0, 0.99)
)

# Step 1: Calculate ridit scores
ridit_scores <- ridit(data)

# Step 2: Calculate PRIDIT weights
weights <- PRIDITweight(ridit_scores)

# Step 3: Calculate final PRIDIT scores
final_scores <- PRIDITscore(ridit_scores, data$ID, weights)

print(final_scores)

Data Format

Your input data should be structured as: - First column: Unique identifiers (IDs) - Remaining columns: Numerical variables to be analyzed - All variables should be numeric (convert factors/categories to numeric values like 0,1 or 1,2,3,4,5)

Output

The final PRIDIT scores range from -1 to 1, where: - The sign indicates class identity - The magnitude indicates the intensity of that identity
