Random Likert distribution
Usage
rlikert(n, prob, labels = names(prob))Arguments
- n
the number of observations
- prob
a vector of probabilities or counts; if named, the output is a factor
- labels
a vector of values, defaults to names(prob) or 1:length(prob), if numeric, the output is numeric
Examples
# no names or labels returns integer vector of values 1:length(prob)
prob <- c(.1, .2, .4, .2, .1)
rlikert(10, prob)
#> [1] 3 2 4 5 3 3 1 2 2 4
# named prob returns factor
prob <- c(A = 10, B = 20, C = 30)
rlikert(10, prob)
#> [1] B C C B C C C B B C
#> Levels: A B C
# specify labels if prob not named and not 1:length(prob)
labels <- -2:2
prob <- rep(1, length(labels)) # uniform probability
rlikert(10, prob, labels)
#> [1] 2 -2 0 1 -2 -2 0 0 -1 0
