methods.section {EGAnet}

R Documentation

Automated Methods Section for EGAnet Objects

Description

This function accepts EGA objects and generates a Methods section for your analysis. The output is an HTML page containing the descriptions of the methods and parameters as well as a Reference section for appropriate citation.

Usage

methods.section(
  ...,
  stats = c("net.loads", "net.scores", "dimensionStability", "itemStability")
)

Arguments

...	EGAnet objects. Available methods (more methods will be added soon!): EGA Exploratory graph analysis bootEGA Bootstrap exploratory graph analysis UVA Unique variable analysis
stats	Methods section for statistics in EGAnet. Multiple statistics can be input. Available statistics: net.loads Network loadings. Requires EGA object to be input net.scores Network scores. Requires EGA object to be input dimensionStability Structural consistency. Requires bootEGA object to be input itemStability Item stability. Requires bootEGA object to be input

Value

Automated HTML Methods section in your default browser

Examples

# Estimate EGA
## plot.type = "qqraph" used for CRAN checks
## plot.type = "GGally" is the default
ega.wmt <- EGA(data = wmt2[,7:24], plot.type = "qgraph")

# EGA Methods section
if(interactive()){
methods.section(ega.wmt)
}

# Estimate standardized network loadings
wmt.loads <- net.loads(ega.wmt)$std

# EGA Methods section with network loadings
if(interactive()){
methods.section(ega.wmt, stats = "net.loads")
}

## Not run: # bootEGA example
## plot.type = "qqraph" used for CRAN checks
## plot.type = "GGally" is the default
boot.wmt <- bootEGA(data = wmt2[,7:24], iter = 500, plot.type = "qgraph",
type = "parametric", ncores = 2)

## End(Not run)
# EGA and bootEGA Methods section
if(interactive()){
methods.section(ega.wmt, boot.wmt)
}

# Estimate structural consistency
sc.wmt <- dimensionStability(boot.wmt)

# EGA and bootEGA Methods section with structural consistency and item stability
if(interactive()){
methods.section(boot.wmt, stats = c("dimensionStability", "itemStability"))
}

# EGA with network loadings and
# bootEGA Methods section with structural consistency and item stability
if(interactive()){
methods.section(ega.wmt, boot.wmt, stats = c("net.loads", "dimensionStability", "itemStability"))
}
