Orthornomal contrast matrix — contr.orthonormal • BayesTools

Return a matrix of orthornomal contrasts. Code is based on stanova::contr.bayes and corresponding to description by Rouder et al. (2012)

contr.orthonormal(n, contrasts = TRUE)

Arguments

n: a vector of levels for a factor, or the number of levels
contrasts: logical indicating whether contrasts should be computed

Value

A matrix with n rows and k columns, with k = n - 1 if contrasts = TRUE and k = n if contrasts = FALSE.
