Chen, J. (2022). LAWBL: Latent (variable) analysis with Bayesian learning (R package version 1.5.0). Retrieved from https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=LAWBL
LAWBL represents a partially exploratory-confirmatory approach to model latent variables based on Bayesian learning. Built on the power of statistical learning, it can address psychometric challenges such as parameter specification, local dependence, and factor extraction. Built on the scalability and flexibility of Bayesian inference and resampling techniques, it can accommodate modeling frameworks such as factor analysis, item response theory, cognitive diagnosis modeling and causal or explanatory modeling. The package can also handle different response formats or a mix of them, with or without missingness.
Please refer to the online tutorials for more details.
