Get combined data

This function reads a triplet or embedding data file containing data from multiple participants, returning a named list with each element containing data from one participant.

Usage

get.combined(fname, eflag = FALSE)

Arguments

fname

Path to and name of the data file.

eflag

Flag indicating whether data are embeddings, default FALSE

Value

A named list, each element being a dataframe containing one participant's data.

Details

Data files must be in CSV format with column names in the first line. The function assumes participant identifier labels are included in a field called worker_id. If the data are embeddings, the file must contain column names called dim_x where x is the dimension number. Embedding data must also include a column named item that indicates the item embedded at each row. The function will use this column to set row names for each dataframe. The list elements will be labelled by the worker_id value.

Use this function to read in combined (across subjects) triplet data files (with eflag=FALSE) or embedding files (with eflag=TRUE)

Examples

fpath <- system.file("extdata", "cfd36_embeddings_individual.csv", package="tripletTools")

embeddings <- get.combined(fpath, eflag=TRUE)
