\title{Function to convert scores to ``conventional
" metrics}
\description{Psychologists frequently report data in terms of transformed scales such as ``IQ" (mean=100, sd=15, ``SAT/GRE" (mean=500, sd=100), ``ACT" (mean=18, sd=6), ``T-scores" (mean=50, sd=10), or ``Stanines" (mean=5, sd=2). The \code{\link{rescale}} function converts the data to standard scores and then rescales to the specified mean(s) and standard deviation(s). }
\usage{
rescale(x, mean = 100, sd = 15,df=TRUE)
}
%- maybe also 'usage' for other objects documented here.
\arguments{
  \item{x}{A matrix or data frame }
  \item{mean}{Desired mean of the rescaled scores- may be a vector}
  \item{sd}{Desired standard deviation of the rescaled scores}
  \item{df}{if TRUE, returns a data frame, otherwise a matrix}
}


\value{A data.frame (default) or matrix of rescaled scores.
