EIGENnet

Description

Convenience function for converting a qgraph object to an eigenmodel layout

Usage

EIGENnet(
  qgraph_net,
  EIGENadj = NULL,
  S = 1000,
  burn = 200,
  seed = 1,
  repulse = F,
  repulsion = 1,
  eigenmodelArgs = list(),
  ...
)

Arguments

qgraph_net

an object of type qgraph

EIGENadj

to use a base matrix for the eigenmodel other than the adjacency matrix stored in qgraph_net, provide it in this argument

S

number of samples from the Markov chain

burn

number of initial scans of the Markov chain to be dropped

seed

a random seed

repulse

logical. Add a small repulsion force with wordcloud package to avoid node overlap?

repulsion

scalar for the repulsion force (if repulse=T). Larger values add more repulsion

eigenmodelArgs

additional arguments in list format passed to eigenmodel::eigenmodel_mcmc

...

additional arguments passed to qgraph

Details

An eigenmodel can be interpreted based on coordinate placement of each node. A node in the top right corner scored high on both the first and second latent components
