print.efa_schmid_leiman: Print and format an efa_schmid_leiman object

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

Print and format an efa_schmid_leiman object

Description

print() shows a summarised output of the efa_schmid_leiman() function: a model header (when the settings are available), the Schmid-Leiman loading matrix, and the variances accounted for. 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()).

Usage

## S3 method for class 'efa_schmid_leiman'
print(x, ...)

## S3 method for class 'efa_schmid_leiman'
format(x, ...)

Arguments

x	An object of class efa_schmid_leiman (output from efa_schmid_leiman()).
...	Not used; for consistency with the generic.

Value

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

Examples

EFA_mod <- efa_fit(test_models$baseline$cormat, N = 500, n_factors = 3,
                   estimator = "PAF", rotation = "promax")
sl_mod <- efa_schmid_leiman(EFA_mod, estimator = "PAF")
sl_mod

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