print.efa_group: Print and format a multigroup factor analysis

In EFAtools: Fast and Flexible Implementations of Exploratory Factor Analysis Tools

Print and format a multigroup factor analysis

Description

print() turns an efa_group() result into a sectioned report: a header recapping the groups, the common number of factors, the estimator, the rotation, and the alignment; a group-pair table of the matched Tucker congruences between the aligned loadings; a per-pair summary of the cross-group loading differences (with the salient and, when a bootstrap was run, the confidence-interval flags); and, when invariance = TRUE, a group-pair by factor grid of the approximate-invariance verdicts. format() assembles the same report and returns it as a character vector; print() is cat(format(x), sep = "\n"). The lines follow the active console theme, so they are plain when colours are disabled (for example when captured into a file or stripped with cli::ansi_strip()). print() does not draw a plot; use plot.efa_group().

Usage

## S3 method for class 'efa_group'
print(x, digits = 3, ...)

## S3 method for class 'efa_group'
format(x, digits = 3, ...)

Arguments

x	An object of class efa_group (output from efa_group()).
digits	Integer. The number of decimal places the reported values are rounded to. Default is 3.
...	Not used; for consistency with the generic.

Value

print() returns its argument x invisibly. format() returns a character vector with the report lines.

Examples

g <- rep(c("g1", "g2"), length.out = nrow(GRiPS_raw))
mg <- efa_group(GRiPS_raw, groups = g, n_factors = 1)
mg

# format() returns the same lines as a character vector:
writeLines(format(mg))
