Compares the complete bivariate patterns C, D1–D4, and E1–E4 using AIC and returns the selected pattern.

Usage

completePattern(empirical)

Arguments

empirical

An empirical bivariate count matrix with 16 rows and 2 columns, as returned by countEmpBivariate.

Value

A list with class c("dyadic_pattern", "list") containing components aic (a data frame with columns pattern, matrix, and aic), pattern (the selected pattern label), and call. It remains usable as an ordinary list.

Details

Conditional on the complete bivariate case, AIC is used to select among the C, D1–D4, and E1–E4 structures.

Examples

chainFM_V1 <- c(1L, 2L, 1L, 2L, 2L, 1L)
chainSM_V1 <- c(2L, 1L, 2L, 1L, 1L, 2L)
chainFM_V2 <- c(1L, 1L, 2L, 2L, 1L, 2L)
chainSM_V2 <- c(2L, 2L, 1L, 1L, 2L, 1L)
emp <- countEmpBivariate(
  chainFM_V1, chainSM_V1, chainFM_V2, chainSM_V2,
  states = 2L
)
completePattern(emp)
#> Dyadic interaction pattern
#> Pattern: complete partner on both (E1)
