使用lapply()进行模拟研究列表中的数据结构

标签: list r simulation lapply mse

我在模拟研究中遇到lapply()的应用。这些数据旨在帮助我们了解标准化公式如何影响提案评级结果。

评估者有三个条件:没有偏见,统一偏见(评估者的偏见增加)和双向偏见(偏见在评分者中均衡为正和负)。

假设提案的真实价值已知。

我们希望在每个偏差条件下生成一组复制数据集,以便数据集可以模拟单个提案评估期(面板)。然后,我们希望复制小组以模拟具有许多提案评估期。

以下是数据结构的示意图:

 The data structure looks like this:

 p = number of proposals
 r = number of raters

 n.panels = number of replicate panels

 t.reps = list of several replicate panels

 three bias conditions:     n.bias - no bias
                            u.bias - uniform bias (raters higher than previous rater)
                            b.bias - bidirectional bias (balanced up and down bias)


 -|
 t     1        |..| --> 10*(n.bias(p*r)) + 10*(u.bias(p*r)) + 10*(b.bias(p*r)  {panel replication 1}
 .     2        |..| --> 10*(n.bias(p*r)) + 10*(u.bias(p*r)) + 10*(b.bias(p*r)  {panel replication 2}
 r     :                    :                         :               :                  :
 e     :                    :                         :               :                  :
 p     n.panels |..| --> 10*(n.bias(p*r)) + 10*(u.bias(p*r)) + 10*(b.bias(p*r)  {n. panels replications}
 s      
 _|

以下R代码正确生成数据:

    {
        {

                n.bias[[j]] <- true.ratings + matrix(round(rnorm(n.val,4,2), digits=0), nrow = nrow(means)) 
            for(j in 1:reps)    
                u.bias[[j]] <- true.ratings + uni.bias + matrix(round(rnorm(n.val,4,2), digits=0), nrow = nrow(means))

        }

    t.reps[[i]] <- list(n.bias, u.bias, b.bias)

    }


# t.reps

列表中的每个元素(t.reps)是一组审阅者的随机复制  对于整套提案。

我想应用以下功能来“调整”面板内的分数  使用整套提案分数的特征(涵盖所有评估者和提案)  在评估者中调整值。我们的想法是以某种方式纠正任何偏见  (例如,在对提案进行评级时过于苛刻或过于简单)。

应对每个(reps)数据集应用调整。

因此,对于一个面板,将有30个重复数据集(每个偏置条件10个)  每个复制数据集将有10个提案,由5个评级者评定,结果  共有300份提案。

因此,我们的想法是随机复制以了解调整后的分数与未调整分数的比较。

我曾尝试在(t.reps)列表中的列表中使用lapply()函数,但它不起作用。

adj.scores <- function(x, tot.dat)
    {
    t.sd <- sd(array(tot.dat))
    t.mn <- mean(array(tot.dat))

    ones.t.mn <- diag(1,ncol(x))

    p <- nrow(x)
    r <- ncol(x)

    ones.total <- matrix(1,p,r)

    r.sd <- diag(apply(x,2, sd))
    r.mn <- diag(apply(x,2, mean))


    den.r.sd <- ginv(r.sd)
    b.shift <- x%*%den.r.sd

    a <- t.mn*ones.t.mn - den.r.sd%*%r.mn
    a.shift <- ones.total%*%a


    l.x <- b.shift + a.shift

    return(l.x)

    }

##########  I would like to do something like this...

##########  apply the function to each element in the list t.reps


dat.1 <- matrix(unlist(t.reps[[1]]), ncol=5)
adj.rep.1 <- lapply(t.reps[[1]], adj.scores, tot.dat = dat.1)

我对其他方法/解决方法持开放态度,允许使用整套评级中的统计数据在一组提案评级中进行评估。可能有一些R功能,我只是不知道或没有遇到过。

此外,如果任何人都可以推荐一本书来编写这样的数据结构(在R,Perl或Python中),那将是非常感激的。到目前为止,我发现的文本没有详细解决这些问题。

很多,非常感谢提前。

2 个答案:

答案 0 :(得分:1)

我不能说我完全理解整个问题(我,不是统计人员!),但你的lapply行失败的原因是adj.scores通过了x中的列表何时需要矩阵。

由于你有列表列表(列表!),rapply似乎更合适。以下似乎产生了一些合理的东西:

adj.rep.1 <- rapply(t.reps[[1]], adj.scores, how='replace', tot.dat = dat.1)

# comparing the structures
str(t.reps[[1]])
str(adj.rep.1)

希望这有帮助!

答案 1 :(得分:0)

我发布适用于我的解决方案的时间已经很晚了。我确信可以进行改进,所以请随意发表评论!

本练习的目的是了解提案评级的线性转换在多大程度上会对提案的选择产生影响。我们的想法是尝试将“提议质量”与“评估偏见”和“小组偏见”区分开来。

实现此目的的一种方法实质上是面板上所有评级的中心,然后使用所有评级的总体均值和sd对面板中心评级进行均值/ sd转换。此过程位于函数adj.scores

这是非常重要的,因为提案是由人们评估的,并且可能会有大量的财务激励措施依赖于成功的提案评估(拨款,合同等)。

欢迎任何有关改进或竞争策略的想法。

#####  using unadjusted scores, the top 10% of proposals come mostly from one (biased) panel, and the rest are made up of the 
#####  highest scoring proposal (from the biased rater) from the remaining panels.

#####  using the adjusted scores, the top 10% of proposals are made up of the highest scoring proposal (the biased rater) from the 
#####  several panels, and a few proposals from other panels.  Doesn't seem to be a systematic explanation as to why...
