Calculate composite weights using GSCA
Description
Calculate composite weights using generalized structure component analysis (GSCA). The first version of this approach was presented in Hwang and Takane (2004). Since then, several advancements have been proposed. The latest version of GSCA can been found in Hwang and Takane (2014). This is the version cSEMs implementation is based on.
Usage
calculateWeightsGSCA(
.X = args_default()$.X,
.S = args_default()$.S,
.csem_model = args_default()$.csem_model,
.conv_criterion = args_default()$.conv_criterion,
.iter_max = args_default()$.iter_max,
.starting_values = args_default()$.starting_values,
.tolerance = args_default()$.tolerance
)
Arguments
.X |
A matrix of processed data (scaled, cleaned and ordered). |
.S |
The (K x K) empirical indicator correlation matrix. |
.csem_model |
A (possibly incomplete) cSEMModel-list. |
.conv_criterion |
Character string. The criterion to use for the convergence check. One of: "diff_absolute", "diff_squared", or "diff_relative". Defaults to "diff_absolute". |
.iter_max |
Integer. The maximum number of iterations allowed.
If |
.starting_values |
A named list of vectors where the
list names are the construct names whose indicator weights the user
wishes to set. The vectors must be named vectors of |
.tolerance |
Double. The tolerance criterion for convergence.
Defaults to |
Value
A named list. J stands for the number of constructs and K for the number of indicators.
$W
A (J x K) matrix of estimated weights.
$E
NULL
$Modes
A named vector of Modes used for the outer estimation, for GSCA the mode is automatically set to "gsca".
$Conv_status
The convergence status.
TRUE
if the algorithm has converged andFALSE
otherwise.$Iterations
The number of iterations required.
