robmed_GUI {robmedExtra}

Graphical user interface for (robust) mediation analysis

Description

Open a shiny app that provides a graphical user interface for (robust) mediation analysis via package robmed.

Usage

robmed_GUI(data = NULL)

Arguments

data

optional; a data frame to be selected by default in the graphical user interface. Note that if the supplied object is not a data frame or does not exist in the global environment, the graphical user interface is opened as if the argument were not supplied.

Details

The graphical user interface allows to select or import a data set, to perform the robust bootstrap test ROBMED (Alfons et al., 2022a) or the OLS bootstrap test (e.g., Preacher & Hayes, 2004, 2008), and to easily export results for reporting (including a replication file in the form of an R script).

Value

No return value, the function is called for its side effect of starting a shiny app.

Note

The graphical user interface is still experimental. It may change in future versions based on user feedback.

Author(s)

Andreas Alfons and Aurore Archimbaud, based on an initial prototype by Vincent Drenth.
