writeAlizer: An R Package to Generate Automated Writing Quality and Curriculum-Based Measurement (CBM) Scores.

Package-level documentation for writeAlizer.

Details

Detailed documentation on writeAlizer is available in the GitHub README file and getting-started guide.

The writeAlizer R package (a) imports ReaderBench, Coh-Metrix, and GAMET output files into R, and (b) uses research-developed scoring models to generate predicted writing quality scores or Total Words Written, Words Spelled Correctly, Correct Word Sequences, and Correct Minus Incorrect Word Sequences scores from GAMET files.

The writeAlizer package includes functions to do two types of tasks: (1) importing ReaderBench, Coh-Metrix, and/or GAMET output files into R; and (2) generating predicted quality scores using the imported output files. There are also additional functions to help with (3) identifying optional package dependencies and (4) cache management.

1. Import output files

• import_rb

• import_coh

• import_gamet

• import_merge_gamet_rb

2. Generate predicted quality scores

• predict_quality

3. Identify necessary packages

• model_deps

4. Cache management

• wa_cache_dir

• wa_cache_clear
